1) A heavy wooden block, of mass m, is dragged by a force Falong a smooth steel plate, as shown in Figure 1, for two cases. The magnitude of the applied force F is the same for both cases. (a) Complete the Free-Body-Diagrams in (i) and (ii). (b) Find the normal force in (i) and (ii). (c)Which normal force is greater in (i) or (ii). Take the angle of incline as theta
2) A person pushes a 14.0 kg lawn mower at a constant speed with a force of F=88.0 N directed along the handle, which is at an angle of 45.0ºto the horizontal, Figure 4. (a) Draw the Free-Body-Diagram showing all force acting on the mower. Calculate (b) the horizontal friction force on the mower, then (c) the normal force exerted vertically upward on the mower by the ground. (d) What force must the person exert on the lawn mower to accelerate it from rest to 1.5 m/s in 2.5 s, assuming the same friction force
