A person pulls a small trolley of mass 30 kg along a flat icy road with a rope. The rope exerts a tensile force of F = 300 N and makes an angle θ = 25o with the horizontal. The figure illustrates the situation but is not drawn to scale.
Taking the acceleration due to gravity as g = 10 m s-2 in any calculations and round your answers to the nearest integer. You can assume that any frictional forces are negligible.
Choose the 3 options from the choices below that are correct:
Select one or more:
The resultant force has a non-zero component parallel to the road.
The rope will pull the trolley away from the road.
The horizontal component of the tensile force F is 272 N.
The resultant force exerted by the trolley on the road is 173 N.
The trolley will accelerate at 8 ms-2 along the road
The vertical component of the tensile force F is 272 N.
