The hand in the figure is pushing on the back of block A. Blocks A and B, with are connected by a massless string and slide on a frictionless surface. Is the force of the string on B larger than, smaller than, or equal to the force of the hand on A? Explain.

A helicopter is flying horizontally. A crate is suspended from the helicopter by a massless cable that is constantly from vertical. What propulsion force F u prop is being provided by the helicopter’s rotor? Air resistance can be ignored. Give your answer in component form in a coordinate system where points in the direction of motion and points upward.
Two packages at UPS start sliding down theramp shown in FIGURE . Package A has a mass of and a coefficient of friction of . Package B has a mass of and a coefficient of friction of How long does it take package A to reach the bottom?
Block in is heavier than block and is sliding down the incline. All surfaces have friction. The rope is massless, and the massless pulley turns on frictionless bearings. The rope and the pulley are among the interacting objects, but you’ll have to decide if they’re part of the system.
