Draw force diagrams for each problem and solve:
7. A 10-kg sled is pulled along level ground. The sled’s rope makes 30o angle with the horizontal and
pulls on the sled with a force of 180 N. Find the acceleration of the sled, if the friction to be overcome
is 15N?
8. The coefficient of friction between a rubber tire and a dry concrete road is 0.7. a) What is the
maximum acceleration possible for a car on such a road? B) What is the minimum distance in which a
car on such a road can be stopped when it is moving at 60 mph?
9. A person weighing 490 N stands on a scale in an elevator. What does the scale read when the elevator
is at rest?
10. The elevator starts to ascend and accelerates the person up at a rate of 2m/s2. What does the scale read
now?
11. When the elevator reaches a desirable speed it no longer accelerate. What is the reading on the scale
as the elevator rises uniformly?
12. The elevator begins to slow down as it reaches the proper door. Do the scale readings increase or decrease?
13. The elevator starts to descend. Does the scale reading increase or decrease?
14. What does the scale read if the elevator descends at a constant rate?
33. The cable snaps and the elevator falls freely, what would the scale read?
34. Determine the acceleration that a force of 25 N gives to a 4-kg mass. The frictionless force to be overcome
is 5 N.
