- Consider the figure shown in the following figure. You are lowering two boxes, one on top of the other, down a ramp by pulling on a rope parallel to the surface of the ramp. Both blocks move with constant velocity of 10.0 [m/s]. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.555 and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.750.1. Write Newton's 2nd law of motion along the x and y directions for both blocks considering their state of motion.2. What are the magnitude and direction of the firctional force on the upper box?3. Draw the free-body diagram of both blocks. Set the x-axis parallel to the ramp.arrow_forwardProblem 5: An object of mass m has these three forces acting on it (there is no normal force, "no surface"). F = 3 N, F2 = 10 N, and F3 = 5 N.

What is the magnitude, Ja of the acceleration, in meters per square second, if the block has a mass of 8.9 kg?arrow_forwardA rope of negligible mass is connected to a 4-kg block situated on a horizontal frictionless surface. The rope passes over a pulley with negligible friction and mass, where a block with mass m hangs from the other side. When the two blocks were let go, the rope yielded a 15-N tension force.arrow_forward
- During a time interval of one second, a ball moves in the +x or -x direction (that is, to the right or the left), and a net force acts on the ball in the +x or -x direction. For each motion listed below, check all the descriptions of net force that could produce that behavior. More than one description may be valid for a particular motion.arrow_forwardBlock A is on top of block B connected by a light, flexible cord passing around a fixed, frictionless pulley. All other surfaces have friction. (a.) Draw the FBD of Block A. Label action-reaction pairs with only one label. (b.) Draw the FBD of Block B. Label action-reaction pairs with only one label. (c.) Block A weighs 1.90 N, and Block B weighs 4.20 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces is 0.30. Find the magnitude of the horizontal force F necessary to drag block B to the left at constant speed if A and B are connected by a light, flexible cord passing around a fixed, frictionless pulley.arrow_forwardThree 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 F (in unit of N)? B Aarrow_forward
- Which of the following is incorrect regarding Newton's Third Law of Motion? O A force acting on a body is always the results of its interaction with another body. Whenever two bodies interact, the two forces that they exert on each other are always equal in magnitude and direction. Forces always comes in pairs, that is for every action, there an equal but opposite reaction.

Note that the force is zero for all times greater than 10 s. Determine the time ts at which the block comes to rest.arrow_forwardA particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces, P, Q and R, and no others, as shown in the diagram attached. The force P acts horizontally to the left, the force Q acts vertically upwards and the force R acts downwards and to the right at an angle of 30◦ to the horizontal. The magnitude of P is 52 N. Let the magnitudes of Q and R in newtons be Q and R respectively. Take the Cartesian unit vectors i and j to be in the opposite direction to P and in the same direction as Q, respectively. a) Find expressions for the component forms of the three forces P, Q and R. b) Hence or otherwise find Q to two significant figures.arrow_forward

When a horizontal force F vector is applied to crate A, the two crates move off to the right. (a) Draw clearly labeled free-body diagrams for crate A and for crate B. Indicate which pairs of forces, if any, are third-law action–reaction pairs. (b) If the magnitude of F vector is less than the total weight of the two crates, will it cause the crates to move?
