- You find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..arrow_forwardWith FBD Solution and Formulaarrow_forwardConsider the 52.0-kg mountain climber as shown.

- A 90-kg man walks on a sawhorse, as shown below. The sawhorse is 2.0 m long and 1.0 m high, and its mass is 25.0 kg. Calculate the normal reaction force on each leg at the contact point with the floor when the man is 0.5 m from the far end of the sawhorse. (Hint: At each end, find the total reaction force first. This reaction force is the vector sum of two reaction forces, each acting along one leg. The normal reaction force at the contact point with the floor is the normal (with respect to the floor) component of this force.)arrow_forwardA crate weighing 5.93 102 N is lifted at a slow, constant speed by ropes attached to the crate at A and B in the figure below, where ? = 41.0°.
