- This question is the calculation version of the previous one (dragging a heavy box up a ramp). Again, remember that the "normal force" or "perpendicular force" is just a name for the force a surface exerts on an object, in a direction perpendicular to the surface. You're dragging a 43 kg box up a ramp that forms a 30 degree angle relative to the level ground. What is the magnitude of the normal force between the box and the ramp in Newtons?arrow_forwardA frictionless surface is inclined at an angle of 30.0° relative to the horizontal. A 10.0 kg box on the ramp is attached to a 12.0 kg box using a frictionless pulley, as shown in figure. When released from rest, m1 will move up the ramp. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each box.(b) Is the magnitude of acceleration the same for two boxes? Explain your answer.(c) Write Newton’s second law equations for both objects.(d) Find the tension in the string and the acceleration of the box on the ramp (m1).(e) Starting from rest, how long does it take for m1 to move 2.00 m along the surface?arrow_forwardi need it in 15 minutes hand written answerarrow_forward

I know that Fn = mg + ma for upward and Fn = mg - ma for downward, but I am not sure how to find the middle ground that would be the acceleration?arrow_forwardYou walk into an elevator, step onto a scale, and push the “up” button. You also recall that your normal weight is 625 N. Start answering each of the following questions by drawing a free body diagram. (a) If the elevator has an acceleration of magnitude 2.5 m/s2 , what does the scale read?

During the acceleration, the hoisting cable applies a force of 9410 N. What does the scale read during the acceleration?

Thanks!arrow_forwardFILL IN THE BLANKS WITH THE CORRECT VALUE Momo with mass m is sliding down an inclined plane that makes an angle Φ relative to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Momo and the inclined plane is μk. Obtain an expression for Momo's acceleration along the incline. Assign a rotated Cartesian plane so that the acceleration is along the positive x-axis and the normal force is along the positive y-axis. The component of the weight parallel to Momo's acceleration is wx = mg_______Φ. The magnitude of the frictional force is f = μk__________. The normal force on Momo is n = mg___________Φ. With these expressions and applying Newton's second law, we arrive at an expression for Momo's acceleration: a =___________(__________ - μk __________) Please type the answer, I have a hard time reading the written answer.arrow_forward
