- A 40 kg wooden crate is being pulled across a wooden surface by a force (of magnitude F) that is angled 20° above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction is 0.5 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3. (a)Calculāte the minimum force F (in N) that must be exerted to get the crate moving. (b)What is the acceleration (in m/s?) of the crate once it starts to move, if that force (F) is maintained?arrow_forwardA railway engine pulls a wagon of mass 10000 kg along a straight track at a steady speed. The pull force in the couplings between the engine and wagon is 1000 N. If the pull force is increased to 1200 N and the resistance to movement of the wagon remains constant, what would be the acceleration of the wagon?arrow_forwardA person whose weight is 520 N is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is 35.1 deep. The tension in the rope is 569 N. How long, starting from rest, will it take to bring the person out of the ve?arrow_forward
