Question
In 1991, a lobster with a mass of 25.0 kg was caught off the coast
of Nova Scotia, Canada. Imagine this lobster involved in a
friendly tug of war with several smaller lobsters on a horizontal
plant at the bottom of the sea. Suppose the smaller lobsters are
able to drag the large lobster a distance of 3.4 m reaching a
maximum speed of 0.450 m/s. If the lobster is initially at rest,
what is the magnitude of the net force applied to it by the smaller
lobsters? Assume that friction and resistance due to moving
through water are negligible.

A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 15000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20000-kg truck moving at 15.0 m/s. Assume the load is not tied down to the truck and has a coefficient of static friction of 0.600 with the truck bed.
