A block of mass 3.4 kg and another block of mass 6.1 kg are attached with a massless cord. The cord is passed over a massless, frictionless pulley. Once the blocks are released, they move vertically, and there are forces of air resistance acting on the blocks, of magnitudes 11 N on the heavy block and 7.0 N on the light block. Determine the accelerations of the blocks and the tension in the cord.

A rope is attached to a box with mass 122 kg and Person A is pulling the box to the right on the floor. There is a frictional force between the floor and the box, and the magnitude of the tension force in the rope is 98 N. Now Person B comes into help person A. Person B pushes the box to the right with a force of 65 N. and the box accelerates at the rate of 0.75 m/s^2 to the right. Person A is pulling the box with the same constant force before and after Person B comes in to help. Assuming that the frictional force is also constant before and after Person B comes in. What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the box and the floor in the unit N? Answer to nearest whole number.

A tractor is being used to pull two large logs across a field. A chain connects the logs to each other; the front log is connected to the tractor by a separate chain. The mass of the front log is 180 kg. The mass of the back log is 220 kg. The coefficient of friction between the logs and the field is approximately 0.45. The tension in the chain connecting the tractor to the front log is 1850 N. Determine the acceleration of the logs and the tension in the chain that connects the two logs.
