Ross and Rachel are fighting if they were on a break. Ross is trying to get his stuff weighing 150. N placed on an inclined plane by pulling it upwards parallel to the inclined plane with 150. N force. However, Rachel is trying to stop Ross by exerting 50.0 N perpendicular to the inclined plane. The coefficients of friction between the box and the incline are us = 0.450 and uk = 0.350. Rachel was able to stop Ross. The object is in static equilibrium. Rachel wins. The object is impending to move up. Nobody wins; the object slides down to the plane. Ross was able to get the object. The object slides up along the incline. 50 N F·R·I·E·N·D·S 30° Was Ross able to get the object or was Rachel able to stop him? (Ctrl)- 150 N
The drawing shows box 1 resting on a table, with box 2 resting on top of box 1. A massless rope passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. One end of the rope is connected to box 2, and the other end is connected to box 3. The weights of the three boxes are W1 = 59.3 N, W2 = 35.2 N, and W3 = 25.8 N. Determine the magnitude of the normal force that the table exerts on box 1. %3D %3D Number Units

A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A that splits at point B and attaches to the ship at points C and D. The two rope segments BC and BD angle away from the B center of the ship at angles of o = 28.0 ° and 0 = 21.0 °, respectively. The tugboat pulls with a force of 1500 lb.

The left string makes a 60° angle with the branch, while the right string makes a 30° angle. What is the tension in each string (in N)? left string __N right string __N bottom string __N
A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling?
Problems 1. Three forces act on particle A located at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. Force B acts at 140° from the positive x-axis, and force C acts at 15° from the positive x-axis. The weight acts down with a magnitude of W = 100 kN. Use the equations of equilibrium to determine the magnitudes of B and C such that particle A is in equilibrium. For problems 2-5, consider the following scenario. Equilibrium of a particle: EF=0 XFx=0 and ΣFy=0. Dimensions are: h = 2.5 ft, d₁ = 4.75 ft, and d₂ = 3 ft.
