A box of mass 730 kg is being pulled at a constant speed across a rough horizontal floor by a constant force, F. The angle of this force above the horizontal is such that the force you apply is a minimum (that is, the amount of force you need to move the box at a constant speed across the floor depends on the angle at which you pull - find the angle which the force is a minimum). Calculate the...

A construction worker pushes on a 10 kg crate down an inclined plane that is 7.0 m long and is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees to the horizontal. As a result, the crate slides down the entire length of the plane with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. Suppose that the worker pushes directly on the crate in a direction parallel to the incline with a force of 50 N for the entire length of the plane. A)...
