- As shown in the figure, a woman is straining to lift a large crate, but without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follows: P is the magnitude of the upward force being exerted on the crate by the person, C is the magnitude of the vertical contact force on the crate by the floor, and W is the weight of the crate. How are the magnitudes of these forces related while the person is trying unsuccessfully to lift the crate? OA P=C OB.P+C>W OCP+Carrow_forwardA car traveling at 43 km/h hits a bridge abutment.
