Three forces in the x-y plane act on a 4.40 kg mass: 14.90 N directed at 57o, 8.40 N directed at 168o, and 5.30 N directed at 195o. All angles are measured from the positive x-axis, with positive angles in the Counter-Clockwise direction. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration. Calculate the direction of the resultant force using the same sign convention as above (in degrees).
(a) A 1.00 kg book is held stationary in the hand. Find the forces acting on the book and the reaction forces to each of these. (b) The hand now exerts an upward force of 15.0 N on the book. Find the book’s acceleration. (c) As the book moves upward, the hand is quickly removed from the book. Find the forces on the book and their acceleration.
A 45.0-kg crate of tools rests on a horizontal floor. You exert a gradually increasinghorizontal push on it and observe that the crate just begins to move when your forceexceeds 313 N. After that you must reduce your push to 208 N to keep it moving at asteady 25.0 cm/s. (a) What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between thecrate and the floor. (b) what push must you exert to give it an acceleration of 1.10 m/s2 ?
