- A worker drags a crate to the right across a factory floor by pulling on a rope tied to the crate. The worker exerts a force of magnitude F = 450 N on the rope, which is inclined at an upward angle 0 = 30.0° to the horizontal, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of magnitude f = 125 N that opposes the motion. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate if (a) its mass is 310 kg and (b) its weight is 310 N. Step 1 Create the free-body diagram. Use the checkboxes to select the correct vectors as instructed above. Move the vectors to the correct starting points and orient them in the correct direction as instructed.
