Please Note: It may not always be possible to include the necessary special characters, superscripts, subscripts, etc. in e-mail responses to this group of exercises. We suggest that you discuss this matter with your professor/class and decide upon a system for indicating such characters. You may cut/paste some characters and/or Greek letters from Microsoft Word, using the Insert menu. Alternatively, we suggest that you agree upon abbreviations for or spell out symbols, Greek letters, or characters and indicate superscripts and subscripts by using "sup", "sub", or up/down carats.

Below you will find the values to be used in the following different physical situations.

F1 = 100 Nμs = 0.200 M = 100 kg
F2 = 250 Nμk = 0.100 k = 980 N/m
F3 = 300 Ng = 9.80 m/s2 

For the figure below, determine the following:

Consider two masses located on the x-axis as follows:

m1 = 2.00 kglocated at x = 2.00 m
m2 = 4.00 kglocated at x = 4.00 m
m3 = 3.00 kglocation to be determined
  G = 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2 

Determine the following:

22
Force m1 exerts on m2
23
Force m2 exerts on m1
24
If m1 were to double in mass, the new force m1 exerts on m2
25
If m2 were to triple in mass, the new force m1 exerts on m2
26
If m2 is moved to x = 6.00 m, the new force m1 exerts on m2
27
If m1 were to double in mass, m2 were to triple in mass, and m2 was moved to x = 6.00 m, the new force m1 exerts on m2
28
Location on the x-axis where we could place m3 = 3.00 kg and have it feel no net force
