Question
Two boxes are connected by a lightweight (mass-less!) cord & are resting on a smooth (frictionless!) table. The masses are mA =10 kg & mB = 3 kg. A horizontal force F = 80 N is applied to mA. Calculate:
- Acceleration of the boxes.
- Tension in the cord connecting the boxes.

- When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.60 kg. If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.2 cm from the elbow, how much force must the biceps exert to hold a 39 N ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 36.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive.
