A mass m1 = 2.6 kg is supported by a cable, passing over a smooth pulley and connected to a box of mass m2 = 8.3 kg which rests on a rough surface. When the box m2 is released, a frictional force of 11 N acts on it as it slides. What is the acceleration of the box? Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

A 2.7 kg mass is supported by a cable passing over a smooth pulley and connected to a box with a mass of 8.0 kg, which rests on a rough surface. When the box is released, a frictional force of 6.8 N acts on it as it slides. What is the acceleration of the box? Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

1. Two boxes filled with sand are attached to both sides of the pulley. The mass of the box on the left is 7.30 kg while the mass of the box on the right is 2.45 kg. (a) What forces are exerted on the box on the left? (b) What is the net force exerted to this box? (c) What is its acceleration?

A box of mass M = 34.5 kg is on a rough slope. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the slope is μ = 0.183. The slope makes an angle of θ = 23.45° with the horizontal. The box is subject to a force of magnitude T = 158.95 N which is directed up the slope parallel to the slope. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the friction force the box experiences?
