b) What is the acceleration on the object?

4. The shipment of the new physics supplies have arrived. They are placed on the
freight elevator and transported up to the third floor for delivery to
the physics rooms. The free body diagram at the right depicts the
forces acting upon the freight elevator as it begins its ascent
through the elevator shaft. The values of the individual forces are:
Ftens = 3500.0 N

leftward.)

6. After a lead-off single in the 8th inning, Earl makes an effort to

steal second base. As he hits the dirt on his headfirst dive, his 71.3 kg body encounters
453 N of friction force. Construct a free body diagram depicting the types of forces acting
upon Earl so that you can determine the magnitude of the net force and acceleration.
