A
1am playing tug-o-war with my three nephews. The youngest in pulling with a force of 189 N. The middle child is pulling with a force of 334 N. The oldest is pulling with a force of 657 N. I am on a team with the youngest child. If I want to keep the four of us in equilibrium, how hard (in newtons) must I pull?

- A freight train has a mass of 1.5 × 107 kg. If the locomotive can exert a constant pull of 7.5 × 105 N, how long does it take to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80 km/h?arrow_forwardA stack of two crates is being accelerated upwards by two cables. The cables are directly attached to crate 1 and the tension in each cable is 3248 N. You may assume that the masses of the cables are negligible compared to the masses of the crates. The acceleration of the crates is? bottom crate crate 1 is 109 kg. the top crate is 248 kg.arrow_forwardA 853 N magician (note: this is weight, not mass) is freeing himself from some shackles while suspended above a swimming pool filled with alligators. Two ropes are suspending the magician. The left rope makes an angle of 42 above the horizontal and points up and to the left. The right rope makes an angle of 78 above the horizontal and points up and to the right. Calculate the tension in the left rope, in N.

- A warehouse worker applies a force F to accelerate two crates, mã and mp, to the right along a rough floor. Crate mд has a mass of 4m, crate mp has a mass of m. Choose 1 answer: A F Which is the correct relationship between the applied force F acting on mд and the force mд exerts on mB? B D MA mB The force Facting on my is smaller than the force that mA exerts on MB. The force Facting on my is the same as the force that mA exerts on MB. The force Facting on my is larger than the force that mд exerts on MB. The answer depends on the relative size of the friction force on MA and MB.arrow_forwardA worker at the LAX airport is pulling a 31.8 kg suitcase across a flat floor. The force that the worker exerts is constant (F=47 N) at an angle above 77.5 degrees above the horizontal.
