___ maintain
d, c, a, b. The magnitude of the normal force can be found by the magnitude of the
component of the force that is perpendicular to the incline. and have the greatest
perpendicular component and and have the smallest perpendicular component.
However and point away from the surface so they will decrease the normal force
while and point into the surface which will increase the normal force.
4. The figure gives the free-body diagram for four situations in which an object is pulled by several
forces across a frictionless floor, as seen from overhead. For each situation, indicate whether the
objects acceleration has an component, a component, or both. Finally give the direction of by
naming either a quadrant or a direction along an axis. (This should be done with mental calculations.)

3. A box weighing 77.0 N rests on a table. A rope tied to the box runs
vertically upward over a pulley and a weight is hung from the other end
(see picture). Determine the force that the table exerts on the box if the
weight hanging on the other side of the pulley weighs (a) 30.0 N, (b) 60.0 N,
and (c) 90.0 N.

Force HW#4
A block of mass
rests on a horizontal frictionless table, as shown above. It is connected to one end
of a string that passes over a massless pulley and has another block of mass
hanging from its other
end. The whole apparatus is released from rest. You may assume that the pulley is frictionless and the
mass of the string is negligible
(a) On the figure below, draw and label all the
forces that act on each block.

___ Equal to
When placed on an inclined plane, a component of the weight of block 1 will point
down the ramp, opposing the tension in the string. This results in a decrease in the
net force acting on block 1, which in response leads to a decrease in the acceleration
of the system.
