channel at position B? Explain your answers.
Check all that apply.
A downward force of gravity.
A force pointing from O to B.
A force in the direction of motion.
A force pointing from B to 0.

across the frictionless table top?
1. Each of the following free body diagrams represents a different problem. Solve for the missing quantities and then place your answers in the space provided. Don’t forget UNITS and DIRECTIONS! Consider all directions on a compass grid with ↑ as north [N]. please hand write it clearly.
Concurrent forces are forces that act at a single point. The assignment cards show concurrent forces but the forces on the force table act on a ring, not at a point. Nonetheless, the forces are still concurrent. Explain.
