Problem 3: Pushing a Box over a Rough Floor
You keep pushing the same 25kg box with a force vec(F)push of magnitude of 82N at
an angle of 23 below the horizontal, this time across a rough floor. Your friend
helps you tying a rope to the box and pulling at an angle of 37 above the
horizontal, the tension on the pulling string has a magnitude of 65N.
The friction from the floor given these conditions has a magnitude |vec(F)k|=36N.
A. On the diagram, draw a free-body diagram for the box. Make sure to label all the
forces on the box in your FBD. The lengths of the vectors representing each force
should accurately represent the direction and relative strength of the forces.
B. Determine the components FT,x and FT,y of the pulling force, Fpush,x and
Fpush,y of the pushing force and Fk,x and Fk,y of the kinetic friction.
C. Argue about which Newton law (1st or 2nd) should be used to obtain information about the normal
force exerted on the box by the floor. Use it to calculate the normal force.
D. Argue about which Newton law (1st or 2nd) should be used to obtain information about the horizontal
acceleration of the box. Determine the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the box.
