1.

A 10 kg box is being pulled by a 50 N force that is inclined at 20 degrees with respect to the
horizontal. What is the component of the force that is parallel with the surface in which the box is
being pulled?

2. A block is placed in an inclined plane at an angle with respect to the horizontal. What is the value of
the angle such that the block will start to move down the plane? Coefficient of friction is 0.45 and
the mass of the block is 100 kg.

3. An 800 N box hangs on a vertical rope. A man pushes box horizontally until the rope now hangs 38
degrees with respect to the vertical. Solve for the tension in the rope.

4. A box with a mass of 300 kg on top of an inclined plane (with an angle to the horizontal of 30
degrees) is held in place by a horizontal rope attached to a wall. What is the tension required in the
rope to keep the box from moving?
