Chapter 5, Problem 74GP

It’s possible for a determined group of people to pull an aircraft. Drag is negligible at low speeds, and the only force impeding motion is the rolling friction of the rubber tires on the concrete runway. In 2000, a team of 60 British police officers set a world record by pulling a Boeing 747, with a mass of 200,000 kg, a distance of 100 m in 53 s. The plane started at rest. Estimate the force with which each officer pulled on the plane, assuming constant pulling force and constant acceleration.

A child is walking along the sidewalk at a constant speed of 1 m/s while pulling his dog sitting in a wagon. The dog has a mass of 30 kg and the wagon weighs 50 N. If the child pulls the wagon with a force of 60 N at an angle of 30°, what is the frictional force exerted by the wagon on the dog?
Two   blocks  are  connected  via  a  pulley,  both  blocks  have  a  mass  of  10.kg.  One  block  rests  on  a  horizontal  surface and  the  other  one hangs  freely by  a  cord which  passes over  a  pulley.  Assume  the  cord  does not  stretch, ignore  mass  of  pulley  and  cord,  therefore  acceleration  is  the  same  for  both  blocks  and  tension  is  the  same  for  both  blocks.  The  hanging  block  moves  down so  the  block  lying on  the  horizontal  surface  moves  to  the  right. What  is  the  acceleration (m/s^2) of  the  blocks  if  the coefficient of  friction  between  the  block  and  the   surface  is   0.50.
A 5.6 kg desk is being pushed along a classroom at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s. If a force of 34 N is being used, what is the coefficient of friction between the desk and the floor?
