Problem Set:

Newton’s Laws of Motion


1. A 5.0-kg block rests on a 30° incline. The
coefficient of static friction between the
block and the incline is 0.20. How large a
horizontal force must push on the block if
the block is to be on the verge of sliding
(a) up the incline and (b) down the
incline?
2. While on an elevator,
Bobby’s apparent weight
is 550 N. When he is on
the ground, the scale
reading is 600. N. What
is Bobby’s acceleration
on the elevator?
3. The system is at
rest. The angle at
the topmost string
makes with the top
surface is 53o.
Solve the values of
T1, T2, and T3.
4. Two boxes with different masses are
tied together on a frictionless ramp
surface. What is the tension in each of the
cords?
5. The 20.-kg block shown
accelerates down and to the
left, and the 10.-kg block
accelerates up. Find the
magnitude of this acceleration
and the force that the cable
exerts on a block. There is no
friction between the block and
the inclined plane, and the
pulley is frictionless and light.
6. Erica is pushing down and to the right
on a 12-kg box at an angle of 30o below
horizontal. The box slides across a floor
whose coefficient of kinetic friction with
the box is 0.60. How much force must
Erica provide to give the box an
acceleration of 0.75 m/s2?
7. Two wooden crates with masses as shown are
tied together by a horizontal cord. Another cord is
tied to the first crate, and it is pulled with a force
of 195 N at an angle of 20.0°, as shown. Each crate
has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.550. Find
the tension in the rope between the crates and the
magnitude of the acceleration of the system.
8. In the drawing, the
rope and the pulleys
are massless, and
there is no friction.
Find (a) the tension in
the rope and (b) the
acceleration of the
10.0-kg block. (Hint:
The larger mass moves
twice as far as the
smaller mass.)
9. As shown in the figure, two masses, m1 = 3.50 kg and
m2 = 5.00 kg, are on a frictionless tabletop and mass m3
= 7.60 kg is hanging from m1. The coefficients of static
and kinetic friction between m1 and m2 are 0.600 and
0.500, respectively.
a) What are the accelerations of m1 and m2?
b) What is the tension in the string between m1 and m3?
10. In the figure, an external
force F is holding a bob of
mass 475 g in a stationary
position. The angle that the
massless rope makes with
the vertical is θ = 30.0°.
a) What is the magnitude, F,
of the force needed to
maintain equilibrium?
b) What is the tension in the
rope?
11. The figure
shows a 65.0–kg
skier. If the friction
is neglected, what
is the skier’s
acceleration?
12. How much force is
necessary to start the 32-kg
crate moving if the coefficient
of static friction between the
crate and the floor is 0.62?
13. What is the
minimum coefficient
of static friction to
keep the 270-g mug
from sliding?
14. The coefficient of
static friction between
the 6.7-kg block and the
plane is 0.25. Determine
the mass, m so that the
system will be in
equilibrium. The pulley is
assumed to be ideal.
