The box moves only along the x axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that F = +7.1N and the mass of the
box is 3.3 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of F, when the acceleration of the box is (a) +4.7 m/s², (b) -4.7 m/s², and (c) 0 m /s2.

A box, initially at rest, is pushed up a ramp that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal as shown in the diagram.
The magnitude of the pushing force is 8m newtons, where m is the mass of the box in kilograms. The force is in a direction parallel to and up the ramp. The coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the ramp is 0.25. Model the box as a particle and take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 m s−2 .
Express the four forces in component form in terms of unknown magnitudes where appropriate and find an expression for the resultant force acting on the box.
Hence find the magnitude of the acceleration of the box, in m s−2
A block of mass m is sitting on a block of mass M. The bottom block is sitting on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is μs1, and the coefficient of static friction between the bottom block and the floor is μs2. What is the minimum pull force F on the bottom block so that the blocks begin to move? Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bottom block and the floor is μk, what is the maximum pull force F so that there is no slipping between the blocks?
