Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 5EP
Check with one of your fellow students (or your instructor) to see if the results agree. Notice that there are no other forces acting in the direction of motion (remember, no air resistance). Then, use this force component in Newton’s second law and solve for a. Does your result for the acceleration of the bob (and ultimately its pattern of motion) include the mass?

An object of mass m has these three forces acting on it (there is no normal force, "no surface"). F1 = 1 N, F2 = 10 N, and F3 = 4 N. When answering the questions below, assume the x-direction is to the right, and the y-direction is straight upwards.
What is the magnitude of the net force, in newtons?
What is the angle θ, in degrees, of the net force, measured from the +x-axis? Enter an angle between -180° and 180°.
What is the magnitude, |a| of the acceleration, in meters per square second, if the block has a mass of 8.9 kg?
A block of mass M is pulled along a horizontal, flat, and smooth (no friction) surface by a rope of mass m, on which a force ?⃗is acting. If we consider that the rope does not stretch out when it is pulled, then the block and rope will move under the same acceleration. Determine the value of such acceleration. Now, if the mass of the rope m is much smaller than the mass of the block M, then what is the approximate value of the acceleration?
Solve Prob. 3.110, assuming that P = 138 N.(Reference to Problem 3.110):To test the strength of a 625 × 500-mm suitcase, forces are applied as shown. If P= 88 N, (a) determine the resultant of the applied forces, (b) locate the two points where the line of action of the resultant intersects the edge of the suitcase.

Assume that the coefficient of static friction for ice on ice is 0.0300, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same is 0.0100. Let to the right be the positive x direction and up be the positive y direction for your equations. Obtain a numeric value, in newtons, for the magnitude of the maximum applied force, F, consistent with static friction when the force makes an angle 32° below the horizontal and the mass of the block is 63 kg.

- I am having trouble with this computer aided engineering problem in Matlab. A two-inch diameter craft ball is thrown vertically. The initial velocity of the ball is 20 ft/s. Neglecting drag, draw a free body diagram and formulate a first order ODE that governs the velocity of the ball. Is the ODE linear or non-linear? Use Euler’s first order method to determine the “drag free” time required to achieve maximum elevation. Check your solution with the analytic solution to the ODE that governs the motion of the ball. Drag force is known to be proportional to the velocity squared. Draw a free body diagram and formulate a first order ODE that governs the actual velocity of the ball. Is the ODE linear or non-linear?
