a. By resolving the force T into the horizontal

component and vertical component, determine the
resultant force on the wheel barrow.

b. Describe the motion of the wheel barrow.

a. Sketch a free body diagram for the wooden block. Use the
symbol W for the weight of the wooden block, R for the
reaction force and FR for the frictional force.
