1. The document provides information to calculate the mass of a block being pulled at an angle of 300 by a 10N force that is accelerating at 0.7m/s2 with a coefficient of friction of 0.3. It is determined that the mass of the block is 1.54kg. 2. A two kg block resting on a table is to be moved by a suspended object at an angle of 400, with a coefficient of friction of 0.5. The minimum mass of the suspended object to move the block is calculated to be 8.52kg. 3. A 1.2kg block on an inclined plane of 250 is being pushed by a 15N horizontal force with a coefficient

A block is being pulled in the right by a 10N constant force acting 30 with
the horizontal. If the block accelerate at 0.7m/s 2 and the coefficient of
friction between the block and floor is 0.3, what is the mass of the block?
