The helicopter view in Fig. P3.15 shows two people pulling on a stubborn mule. The person on the right pulls with a force F1 of magnitude 120 X and direction of 1 = 60.0. The person on the left pulls with a force F2 of magnitude 80.0 N and direction of 2 = 75.0. Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force that a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the resultant force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons (symbolized N). Figure P3.15
A 3.00-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t2 1 and y = 3t3 + 2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.00 s.
A sleigh is being pulled horizontally by a train of horses at a constant speed of 8.05 m/s. The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the snow-covered ground on the sleigh is 6.37 103 N. a. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleigh and the ground is 0.23, what is the magnitude of the kinetic friction force experienced by the sleigh? b. If the only other horizontal force exerted on the sleigh is due to the horses pulling the sleigh, what must be the magnitude of this force?
