1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A 306 kg crate hangs from the end of a 10.3 m long rope. You pull horizontally with a varying force to move it a distance d = 5.7 m to the right. What is the magnitude of the applied force, F, when the crate is at rest in its final position?
