- A certain orthodontist uses a wire brace to align a patient's crooked tooth as in Figure P4.38. The tension in the wire is adjusted to have a magnitude of 18.0 N. Find the magnitude of the net force exerted by the wire on the crooked tooth. .arrow_forwardTwo horizontal forces, and F2, are acting on a box, but only is shown in the drawing. F₂ can point either to the right or to the left. The box moves only along the x axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that F₁ = +4.6 N and the mass of the box is 3.6 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of F2 when the acceleration of the box is (a) +6.9 m/s², (b) -6.9 m/s², and (c) 0 m /s².

This particle is subjected to two horizontal forces, expressed in newtons by F⃗ 1=2.00ı^ + 3.00ȷ^ and F2. Calculate the force F2 in newtons. Give your answer to one decimal placearrow_forward
- A hot air balloon begins to rise from rest. The lift on the balloon due to the buoyant force is 5000 N. In order to minimize the time until the passenger is reunited with their cell phone, what should the horizontal component of the passenger’s velocity be so that they land directly on their phone which is initially 3 m away in the horizontal direction?arrow_forwardA man is trying to push a 75.0 kg rock across the ground by applying a constant force P at an angle θ = 27.5 ̊ below the horizontal. The coefficients of friction between the rock and the ground are μk = 0.430 and μs = 0.570. (a) If the rock is initially at rest, what force does the man need to apply to get it to start moving? (b) If the rock is already in motion, what force does he need to apply to get it accelerate at 2.75 m/s2?arrow_forwardTwo horizontal forces, F and F, are acting on a box, but only is shown in the drawing. F₂ can point either to the right or to the left. The box moves only along the x axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that E₁ = +4.0 N and the mass of the box is 3.3 kg.

The two surfaces have a static coefficient of friction of 0.45 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.38. The floor is horizontal, and the crate has a mass of 25.0 kg, and is initially at rest. You are pushing with a horizontal force of 155 N. What is the magnitude of the force of friction in this case?

- A chair of weight 75.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F = 38.0 NN directed at an angle of 34.0 DEGREES below the horizontal and the chair slides along the floor. Using Newton's laws, calculate nnn, the magnitude of the normal force that the floor exerts on the chair.arrow_forwardYou are pushing a rubber crate against a concrete floor. The two surfaces have a static coefficient of friction of 0.61 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.49. The floor is horizontal, and the crate has a mass of 25.0 kg, and is initially at rest. You are pushing with a horizontal force of 100 N. What is the magnitude of the force of friction in this case?
