You are pushing a heavy box across a rough floor. When you are initially pushing the box, and it accelerates,
(a) you exert a force on the box, but the box does not exert a force on you.
(b) the box is so heavy that it exerts a force on you, but you do not exert a force on the box.
(c) the force you exert on the box is greater than the force of the box exerting back on you.
(d) the force you exert on the box is equal to the force of the box exerting back on you.
(e) the force that the box exerts on you is greater than the force you exert on the box.
The crate shown in Fig. 4–60 lies on a plane tilted at an angle to the horizontal, with . (a) Determine the acceleration of the crate as it slides down the plane. (b) If the crate starts from rest 8.15 m up along the plane from its base, what will be the crate’s speed when it reaches the bottom of the incline?

(a) If,andin Fig. 4–53, determine the acceleration of each block. (b) If initially, it is at rest at 1.250 m from the edge of the table, how long does it take to reach the edge of the table if the system is allowed to move freely? (c) If, how large mustbe if the acceleration of the system is to be kept at?
Suppose the pulley in Fig. 4–55 is suspended by a cord C. Determine the tension in this cord after the masses are released and before one hits the ground. Ignore the masses of the pulley and cords.
