Chapter 16.1, Problem 2bTH
Consider a book on top of a level table while the book is being pressed straight down by a hand.
i. In the space below, draw a free-body diagram for the book. Label the forces as you did in the tutorial Forces.
ii. How do the forces exerted on the book in this case compare to the forces exerted on the book when the hand is not pushing? List any forces that are the same (i.e., same type of force, same direction, and same magnitude) in both cases. Make a separate list of forces that change (or are not present) when the hand is pressing down on the book.
iii. Is the magnitude of the weight equal to the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the table on the book? How can you tell?

e1 A double incline is setup with two ramps as shown. The left block has a
mass m1, and the right block has a mass m2. The left ramp is rough
with kinetic friction coefficient uy and an angle 01. The ramp on the
right is frictionless with an angle 02. The pulley is massless and
frictionless. Assume the system starts accelerating to the right on initial
release.
a) In the Space below draw a set of free body diagrams (or a single one if taking that method which is fine) to fully
describe all forces in this problem.
b) Find an equation for the acceleration of the system.
A person pushes a box along the ground. The box has the force diagram shown below. Examine the force diagram to answer the
following questions:
a. Is the box in equilibrium? If so explain how you can tell. If not, explain why not.
b. If the person wants the box to move at constant velocity, should they adjust their pushing on the block? If so, explain how they should
change their push. If not, explain why they should change nothing about their push.
