A180 lb crate is on the ground, and a strong rope is attached. you need to move it across the basement floor, which has a coefficient of friction of 0.7 against the wood of the crate. to avoid actually working you call your friend to complain that you have to push it so hard. your friend says you should pull it with the rope (your height will cause it to have a 60° angle to horizontal), since it will lower the weight and therefore the friction force. you counter (still avoiding work) that you will also have less force on the crate so it cancels out. what is the right answer? is it better to pull with the rope or push? why?

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
