Two children playing on a frictionless garden gate invent a new game called "gate." The idea is that they will get on opposite sides of the gate and each push such that the gate does not move. If they both push horizontally and perpendicular to the gate and one child pushes with a force of 180 N at a distance of 0.580 m from the hinges, determine the force the second child must exert in order to keep the gate from moving if she pushes at a distance of 0.280 m from the hinges.

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? Your answer: The normal force will increase when he pulls. The normal force will decrease when he pulls. The normal force will stay the same.
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force of magnitude 204 N, and Charles pulls with force Fc of magnitude 176 N. Note that the direction of Fc is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force FB if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn in the picture or (b) the other possible direction for equilibrium? 133⁰ Alex Charles Betty (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units
Two carts on a low friction air-track are connected by an unstretched spring. Cart 1 has an inertia of 1.5 kg while cart 2 has an inertia of 2.5 kg. The spring has a spring constant of 10 N/m and negligible inertia. You push cart 1 in the direction of the cart 2 with a constant force of 5.0 N. (a) What is the acceleration of the centre of mass of the cart-spring system? (b) What is the acceleration of each cart the instant you begin to push?
A 4 kg block is sliding down a vertical wall while being pushed by an external force as shown in the figure. What magnitude of the external force (in N) would be required for the block to move down the wall at constant speed if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wall and the block is u = 0.20? 4 kg 六F 300 36.98
F 0 EC FAC $ Ed and Al are pushing on a couch as shown in the picture and it doesn't slip. Ed is pushing with a force of 198.9 N at an angle of 0 = 54 degrees with respect to the vertical and Al is pushing with a force of 60.2 N at an angle of = 35.4 degrees with respect to the horizontal. If the couch has a mass of 83 kg and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the couch and the floor are μg = 0.53, and k = 0.39, what is the magnitude of the force of friction exerted by the floor on the couch?

In the figure, a cord runs around two massless, frictionless pulleys. A canister with mass m = 41 kg hangs from one pulley, and you exert a force F on the free end of the cord. (a) What must be the magnitude of F if you are to lift the canister at a constant speed? (b) To lift the canister by 3.5 cm, how far must you pull the free end of the cord? During that lift, what is the work done on the canister by (c) your force (via the cord) and (d) the gravitational force? (Hint: When a cord loops around a pulley as shown, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)

A 1.20 kg object is subjected to three forces that give it an acceleration à = (4.80 m/s² )î + (5.00 m/s²). If two of the three forces are F₁ = (28.0 N )i + (11.0 N ) and F₂ = (15.0 N )i + (8.00 N )ĵ, find (a) the x component and (b) the y component of the the third force.
trying to get his car out of mud, a man ties one end of a rope around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 18 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 550 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.30 m, but the car barely moves.What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)
