The sled dog in the picture drags sleds A and B across the snow. The coefficient of friction between the sleds and the snow is 0.10. If the tension in rope 1 is 150 N, what is the tension in rope 2?

A block and a ball are connected by a string as shown in the figure. The block sits on a level, rough surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is μ = 0.841. The ball hangs freely from the string. The mass of the block is 18.82 kg. What is the largest mass of a ball you could hang from the string without causing the block to slide?

Two people are pulling a heavy 95 kg box across the floor as shown in the figure. Person A is pulling in the x-direction only with a force of 20 N. Person B is pulling at an angle e = 40° above the x-direction, also with a force of 20 N. What is the total pulling force on the box in the x-direction?

You are camping in bear country and you are setting up your camp for the night. You string up your food, as shown in the picture below, so that the bears in the area do not steal it. The breaking tension of the type of string you are using is 800 Newtons. Any tension greater than that will cause the string to snap. The mass of your food pack is 10 kg. If a bear comes along in the night and pulls straight down on the food pack, with what maximum force can it pull before the strings snap?

A sled weighing 53.5 N is pulled horizontally across snow so that the coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and snow is 0.100. A penguin weighing 70.5 N rides on the sled, as in the figure below. If the coefficient of static friction between penguin and sled is 0.700, find the maximum horizontal force that can be exerted on the sled before the penguin begins to slide off.

A cardboard box rests on the floor of an elevator. The box has a mass m = 2.75 kg and the elevator has an upward acceleration of a.   a.  Write an expression for the sum of the forces acting on the box in the y-direction, ΣFy, given that up is the positive y-direction. Your answer should be in terms of FN, m, and g.  b. Write an expression for the normal force, FN, that the block experiences in terms of the elevator's acceleration, the block's mass, and the acceleration of gravity.  c.  If the elevator's acceleration has a magnitude of g in the downward direction, what would the normal force, FN1 be in Newtons?  d.If the elevator's acceleration had a magnitude of g in the upward direction, what would the normal force FN2 be in Newtons?

The figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 189.7 N. The feeder is supported by a vertical string, which is in turn tied to two strings, each of which is attached to a horizontal branch. 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 right string bottom string 60° Bird food 30° N N

Two people play tug of war. The 100-kg person on the left pulls with 1100 N, and the 75-kg person on the right pulls with 870 N. Assume that neither person releases their grip on the rope with either hand at any time, assume that the rope is always taut, and assume that the rope does not stretch. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope in Newtons? Add your answer

A1 kg cart is connected to a 2 kg cart. The 1 kg cart feels 9 N of friction and the 2 kg cart feels 18 N of friction. If you pull on the 2 kg cart with a force of 36 N to the right. what is the force of tension between the two carts?
