Chapter 4, Problem 25CQ

Three blocks A, B, and C stand next to each other as shown in the figure. A force F with
magnitude 140.5 N is applied to push block C directly and sends the blocks accelerating to the
right. Let's assume there is no friction between the blocks and the ground. The mass of A, B,
and C are 7.7, 58.7, and 99.7 kg, respectively. What is the force applied on block B by block C

A 0.75-kg cart is pulled along a horizontal track by a rope. The rope makes an angle
of 30 degrees to the horizontal.
Your friend says that the normal component of the force the track exerts on the cart
is 7.5 N because mg = (0.75kg) (¹0N) = 7.5N.
Do you agree with your friend? Use a force diagram and Newton's 2nd Law to
explain why.
Topic: You find yourself trapped in the middle of a large frozen lake. Assume the ice has no friction. All you have on your is warm winter clothing and no way to call/signal for help. You can just barely see the shore in the distance. Use your physics knowledge of Newton's laws to help get you off the lake. Explain your reasoning.

He finds a scale that someone has left on the floor, and decides to stand on it for a few minutes while other people direct the elevator to various floors. The scale's reading is plotted below as a function of time. At time t = 0, the elevator hasn't started moving yet.
