Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force.

You bring a bathroom scale onto an elevator and press "up". Your mass is 65 kg. If the bathroom scale reads 750 N, (a) what is the acceleration of the elevator? You then press down and the acceleration downward is of the same magnitude. (b) While accelerating downward, you hold a small mass of 100 g attached to a string. What is the tension in the string? This elevator is in the new BU Data Science building where g = 10 m/s². Your work should include free body diagrams
Three stacked blocks are placed in an elevator as shown: Assume the stack of blocks is in contact with the floor of the elevator. If m = 11.9 kg and the elevator is accelerating upward at 1.9 m/s2, what is the normal force exerted on the 5m block by the 8m block? Express your answer in N, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
Draw a diagram of the situation and label the givens in the problem: The cart's mass and the hanger's mass. Also label the direction of the cart and hanger's acceleration. Draw two force diagrams. One for the cart and one for the hanger. You can treat the track as frictionless. Remember that the force in the string will be the same throughout the entire string. Then define an x-y coordinate system and find the x and y components of the forces in your diagrams.
You are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including passengers).
