<strong>Bonus</strong> assignment – due October 11, 20121. A woman at an airport <strong>is</strong> towing her 25.5-kg suitcase at constant speed by pulling on astrap at an angle θ above the horizontal. She pulls on the strap with a 36.0-N force, andthe friction force on the suitcase <strong>is</strong> 20.0 N.(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the suitcase.(b) What angle does the strap make with the horizontal?(c) What <strong>is</strong> the magnitude of the normal force that the ground exerts on the suitcase?2. Two objects are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as shownin the figure below. Assume the incline <strong>is</strong> frictionless and take m 1 = 2.00 kg, m 2 = 7.70kg, and θ = 53.5°.(a) Draw free-body diagrams of both objects.(b) Find the magnitude of the accelerations of the objects.(c) Find the tension in the string.3. In the system shown in the figure below, a horizontal force x with a magnitude of 100 N actson an object of mass m 2 = 6.15 kg. The horizontal surface <strong>is</strong> frictionless.
(a) Draw free body diagrams for both objects.(b) If mass m 1 = 4.35 kg, what <strong>is</strong> the magnitude of acceleration of the two objects?(c) Find the magnitude of tension in the string.
