A 2 kg box sits on a ramp of 8 degrees where the coefficient of friction is 0.3. A string runs uphill over a pulley and back down to a hanging mass of 9 kg. Assuming the box on the ramp is pulled uphill by the weight of the hanging mass, find the acceleration.

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 965 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1016 N. The mass of the sky diver is 98.5 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?

A box, initially at rest, is pushed up a ramp that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal as shown in the diagram. The magnitude of the pushing force is 8m newtons, where m is the mass of the box in kilograms. The force is in a direction parallel to and up the ramp. The coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the ramp is 0.25. Model the box as a particle and take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 m s−2 . Express the four forces in component form in terms of unknown magnitudes where appropriate and find an expression for the resultant force acting on the box. Hence find the magnitude of the acceleration of the box, in m s−2
