(I) A box weighing 77.0 N rests on
a table. A rope tied to the box runs
vertically upward over a pulley and
a weight is hung from the other
end (Fig. 4–45). Determine the
force that the table exerts on
the box if the weight hanging
on the other side of the pulley
weighs (a) 30.0 N, (b) 60.0 N, and
(c) 90.0 N.

(II) A small box is held in place against a rough verticalwall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upwardat 28° above the horizontal. The coefficients of static andkinetic friction between the box and wall are 0.40 and0.30, respectively. The box slides down unless the appliedforce has magnitude 23 N. What is the mass of the box?
(2) A stack of two crates is being lifted upwards by two cables, as shown in the figure below. The tension
in each cable is 2270 N. You may assume that the masses of the cables are negligible compared to the
masses of the crates. Do not use Newton's 3rd Law; use only Newton's 2nd Law.
(a) Using Newton's 2nd Law, calculate the force that the top crate exerts on the bottom crate and the force
that the bottom crate exerts on the top crate.
(answer: Fotom on-top = Fop on-bottom= 3062 N)
(b) The maximum tension that each cable can handle without breaking is 3230 N. Calculate the maximum
