A worker drags a crate across a factory floor by pulling on a rope tied to the crate. The worker exerts a force of magnitude f = 450Non the rope, which is inclined at an upward angle to the horizontal, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of magnitude f = 125 Nthat opposes the motion. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate if (a) its mass is 310kg and (b) its weight is 310 N.
(a) An 11.0 kgSalami is supported by a cord that runs to a spring scale, which is supported by a cord hung from the ceiling (Figure-a). What is the reading on the scale, which is marked in weight units? (b) In Figure-bthe salami is supported by a cord that runs around a pulley and to a scale. The opposite end of the scale is attached by a cord to a wall. What is the reading on the scale? (c) In Figure-c the wall has been replaced with second11.0 kg salami, and the assembly is stationary. What is the reading on the scale?

Figure 5-60 shows a box of dirty money (mass ) on a frictionless plane inclined at angle . The box is connected via a cord of negligible mass to a box of laundered money (mass ) on a frictionless plane inclined at angle .The pulley is frictionless and has negligible mass. What is the tension in the cord?
Figure 5.33 shows an arrangement in which four disks are suspended by cords. The longer, top cord loops over a frictionless pulley and pulls with a force of magnitude 98 N on the wall to which it is attached. The tensions in the three shorter cords areand . (a) What is the mass of disk A (b) What is the mass of disk B, (c) What is the mass of disk C, and (d) What is the mass of disk D?

For sport, a 12 kgarmadillo runs onto a large pond of level, frictionless ice. The armadillo’s initial velocity is 5.0 m/salong the positive direction of an xaxis. Take its initial position on the ice as being the origin. It slips over the ice while being pushed by a wind with a force of 17 Nin the positive direction of the yaxis. In unit-vector notation, what are the animal’s (a) velocity and (b) position vectors when it has slid for 3.0 s?
