A student is pulling a crate with a mass of 20.0 kg along a horizontal rough floor with a rope that's inclined at an angle θ = 30.0∘ above the horizontal as shown. The tension force is measured to be 150 N. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the floor are μs = 0.35 and μk = 0.20. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate, in m/s2? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. ((Compare the result from the previous homework when there was no friction, does the answer make sense?) Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

Two children, Raffil and John, sitting on sleds tied together with a rope, are being dragged across a frozen river by their lonely Siberian husky Rex attached with the hamess and rope as shown in the figure. The husky is pulling happily with a net horizontal force of 112 N from its harness. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the ice is 0.08, the combined mass of Raffi and his sled is 42.0 kg, and the combined mass of John and his sled is 51.0 kg. Assume all forces are horizontal, and the two ropes and the harness are of negligible mass, and all ropes are tight. (i) What is the acceleration of Rex? (ii) What is the tension T in the rope connecting the two sleds? (iii) What is the tension in the rope connecting the sled of John and Rex? If this question cannot be answered, why? (iv) Will the husky be able to pull the sleds with the same magnitude of force from its harness if the frozen river starts to melt resulting in a slippery surface? Explain the reason of your answer.

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?
