A 14 kg block measures 7 cm by 9 cm by 25 cm. When it slides on a 9 cm by 25 cm face, it moves with constant speed when pulled horizontally by a force whose magnitude is 17 N. How big a horizontal force must be applied to pull it with constant speed if it slides on a 7 cm by 25 cm face?
The slope of the 4.1 kN force F is specified as shown in the figure. Express F as a vector in terms of the unit vectors i and j.
Assume a = 9, b = 3.

The scale sits on the floor of the elevator. (It is an Otis elevator, so we will label it as "O" so as not to confuse its forces with those caused by the earth.) You may take g = 10 N/kg. For doing this problem it might be useful to start by drawing free-body diagrams for the passenger and the scale. Consider the vertical forces acting on the passenger and the scale WE→P: The force of the earth pulling down on the passenger (weight). WE→S: The force of the earth pulling down on the scale (weight). NP→S: The force of the passenger pushing down on the scale (normal). NS→P: The force of the scale pushing up on the passenger (normal). NO→S: The force of the elevator pushing up on the scale (normal).

The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless.
