Q6.2 The questions refer to the layout of the figure. There is no friction in the shafts of the pulleys,
the cord has negligible mass. The friction between the pulleys and the cord is large enough that the
cord does not slide against the pulley. You additionally assume that the pulleys have negligible mass.

a) Draw a figure with all relevant forces. Draw the direction of movement of the various objects in
the system, but not in such a way that they can be confused with the forces. Assume that the block
with mass m1 moves downwards.
b) What must be the ratio between the masses m1 and m2 for the system to be able to be at rest?

The platform has a mass of 50 kg and is 2.5 m lon.g Alice, who weighs 600 Newton's is standing a distance of 1.0 m from the end of the platform. Next to her, at a distance of 0.75 m from the end of the platform, is a 10 kg bucket of window washing solution. What is the tension in each supporting cable?

- Q7.The figure below shows two boxes connected to each other by a light cord that passes over a pulley with negligible friction. The box of mass m1 = 3.80 kg lies on a horizontal table with negligible friction, while the box of mass m2 = 10.3 kg hangs vertically. Two boxes labeled m1 and m2 are attached together by a cord. Box m1 lies on a horizontal table with the cord extending horizontally from its right side. The cord extends horizontally from the right side of m1 then goes over a pulley and then straight down to m2. Box m2 hangs from the cord. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each box (in m/s2)? (Here, a1 is the acceleration of m1, and a2 is the acceleration of m2.) a1 = m/s2 a2 = m/s2 (b) What is the tension in the cord (in N)?

- QS In what direction does the tension force always point? Q9 Why is the tension force always a pull and never a push? Q10 Tension is transmitted through a rope or cable by forces acting on both ends of the rope or cable. Why do we not identify (or give different labels to) the tension force on each end separately? Perpendicular to a Surface: Normal Force, FN Activity 4 A book resting on a table does not move. According to ewton's First Law, the net force on the book must be zero since the book is not moving. The force that explains why books do not fall through tables is called the normal force FN. It is a perpendicular contact force exerted by a surface. In the drawing at the right, a book is sitting on the table. The book is not moving, so the net force on it must be zero.
