Ex 1)

frictionless surface

 

Find the force of the 3 kg box on the 1 kg box?

 

Both boxes a = 5 m/s2

 

Fnet = ma = 1kg(5 m/s2)

= 5 N

Net force on 3 kg box?

 

20 N - 4 N = 15 N

 

or Fnet = ma = 3 kg(5 m/s2)

= 15 N

Ex 2)

frictionless surface

 

Net force on 1 kg mass?

 

Tension B = 48 N

Tension A = 36 N

Fnet on 1 kg =

 

12 N

Ex 3)

Find Rope Tension force A

Fnet = ma

20. N = (4 kg)a

a = 5 m/s2

Net force on 1 kg?

 

F = ma = 5 N
