A woman at an airport is towing her 20.0 kg suitcase at constant speed by pulling on a strap at an angle of 30∘ above the horizontal. The friction coefficient between the wheels of the suitcase and the floor is 0.5 and the woman pulls on the strap with a 35.0 N force. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the suitcase (b) What is the magnitude of the normal force that the ground exerts on the suitcase? Hint: Use Newton's Second Law and decompose forces. (c) What is the friction force acting on the suitcase?
