Q1 A box of mass 8.0 kg rests on a horizontal, rough surface. A string attached to the box passes
over a smooth pulley and supports a 2.0 kg mass at its other end.
When the box is released, a friction force of 6.0 N acts on it.
What is the acceleration of the box?
answer is 1.4ms-2
can u solve it via newton second law plz?
Q2--
An electric power cable consists of six copper wires c surrounding a steel core s
1.0 km of one of the copper wires has a resistance of 10 Ω and 1.0 km of the steel core has a
resistance of 100 Ω.
What is the approximate resistance of a 1.0 km length of the power cable?
B 1.6 Ω
1. Draw a free-body diagram on the 8 kg mass. The force to the right will be the weight of the 2 kg mass. The force backwards will be 6 N. a=F/m, and m=8+2 kg.
