Thank you for trying, those are the exact questions they asked me. So yeah...I need answer for the 2nd part of question #1, and confirmation of #2... Would greatly appreciated if someone can help me out before midnight, 1h 30min left.

Homework Statement 1.Is it possible to calculate the torque acting on a rigid object without specifying an origin? Is the torque independent of the location of the origin? 2.A mouse is initially at rest on a horizontal turntable mounted on a frictionless vertical axle. If the mouse begins to...

Homework Statement A box on a friction less table is connected by a cable to a second, hanging 10.0kg box. The cable has no mass, does not stretch and the pulley is friction less . m2 accelerates 2.0m/s/s downwards Homework Equations F= maThe Attempt at a Solution Fnet=m1a T= M1a Fnet=m2a...

Hmm, ok so now i got this. m1: Fnet=m1a Fapplied-T-Ff=m1a m2: Fnet=m2a T-Ff=m2a a=T-Ff/m2 plug a into m1's equation Fapplied-T-Ff=m1(T0Ff/m2) 53-T-(0.30x4.0x9.8)=4.0(T-0.30x7.5x9.8/7.5) 53=1.53T T=34.565N = 35N If someone can check if i did the calculation right, it would...

1. Homework Statement Two blocks (m1=4.0kg, m2=7.5kg) are attached by a light cord pulled along a horizontal surface by a force of 53N as shown in the diagram. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks and the surface is 0.30, what is the tension in the rope between the two blocks...
