A mysterious force acts on all particles along a particular line and always points towards a particular point P on the line. The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center.
Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.

A block with a mass of m=21 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x direction with a magnitude of F1. The second has a magnitude of F2 and acts on the body at an angle 0=18 degrees measured from horizontal. Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN acting on the block, in terms if F2 and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on is rigid.
The two forces change such that F1=8.5N and F2=19N. Based on this change, the block may no longer be in static equilibrium. Find the blocks acceleration in the x direction, ax, in meters per second squared.
