A bulldozer drags a 252 kg long along the rough horizontal ground. The cable attached to the log applies a 525 N force at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the ground. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the log and the ground is 0.150. Assume the direction of motion is +x and upwards is +y. What is the normal force acting on the log? What kinetic friction force is acting on the log? (With proper sign) What is the acceleration of the log?

A car of mass m₁ 1000 kg is connected to a trailer of mass m2 = 400 kg by a taut inextensible cable. The car's engine provides a constant forward driving force Fx = 7000 N, which causes the car-plus-trailer to accelerate forwards along the horizontal x-axis. The tension of the cable produces a force on the trailer and also a force on the car. You may assume that the magnitude of the two forces is the same. You may also ignore friction. What is the tension in the cable joining the car to the trailer? Give your answer by entering a number, correct to an appropriate number of significant figures, in the empty box below.
