Three blocks are stacked on the floor. From the bottom of the stack to the top, their masses are m1, m2, and m3, respectively, as shown on the diagram. When referring to the various forces, the subscripts i=1,2,3 of the blocks will be used, and ff will be used to indicate the floor.
- Weights, if required, will be denoted with the corresponding subscript of the block as Fg,i, for i=1,2,3.
- The normal force exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fn,a→b for i=1,2,3, f, but a≠b.
- The force of kinetic friction exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fk,a→b for i=1,2,3,f, but a≠b.

- A crate sits on a wooden horizontal surface (a wooden floor). The figure shows a top view of this looking down onto the crate (gravity would be acting into the page). Man one and man two apply forces F1 and F2, at angles of θ1 and θ2 respectively, with the goal of moving the crate in the x-direction. A resultant force of Fr = 30.5 lbs in the x-direction is required to accomplish this. All of the forces are in the xy plane. If man one applies a force of F1 = 21 lbs at an angle of θ1 = 16° from the positive x-axis, complete the following steps to determine the magnitude and angle of the force man two must apply. c) Combine these two equations to develop an expression for tan(θ2) in terms of Fr, F1, F2, and θ1. Remember that the crate does not move along the y-direction. d)Solve numerically for the value of θ2 in degrees. e)Using this value for θ2 and other known values, solve numerically for the value of F2 in lbs.arrow_forwardConnected objects with inclined plane problem.
