Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.30P
A large box containing your new computer sits on the bed of your pickup truck. You are stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, you stomp on the gas and the truck accelerates. To your horror, the box starts to slide toward the back of the truck. Draw clearly labeled free-body diagrams for the truck and for the box. Indicate pairs of forces, if any, that are third-law action reaction pairs. (The horizontal truck bed is not frictionless.)

Person A, is tired pulling Person B and
his wagon . So, Person B lets Person A to sit on his wagon and takes Person’s A place in crossing a 25m-long bridge. Starting from rest,
Person B pulls Person A and the sleigh with a 130-N force 30° above
the horizontal against the ground's frictional force of 95N.
1. Draw an appropriate free body diagram to represent all the
forces acting on Person A and the wagon. (Person A and the
Wagon are considered as a single object/system.)

combined mass is 400kg?
How much work is done by Person B in crossing the bridge?
