GO In earlier days, horses pulled barges down canals in the manner shown in Fig. 5-42. Suppose the horse pulls on the rope with a force of 7900 N at an angle of θ = 18° to the direction of motion of the barge, which is headed straight along the positive direction of an x axis. The mass of the barge is 9500 kg, and the magnitude of its acceleration is 0.12 m/s2. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to positive x) of the force on the barge from the water?

One force is horizontal, and the other makes and angle of φ = 31.3° with horizontal. (a) Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate in terms of F, m, and φ.

The worker exerts a force of magnitude F = 400N on the rope, which is inclined at an upward angle q = 30° to the horizontal, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of magnitude f = 200N that opposes the motion.
