Instruction: Show your complete and neat solution. Identify your final answer
in the solution.
1. A force of 20 N acts upon a body whose weight is 8 N. What is the mass
of the body? What is its acceleration?

2. Two masses of 8 kg and 12 kg are tied to each end of a string passing

over a massless and frictionless pulley. Find the resulting acceleration of
each mass.
3. A 1000−kg mass elevator has an acceleration of 1 𝑠𝑚2. What is the tension
in the supporting cable if the elevator is a) ascending and b)
descending?
4. A block weighing 60 N rests on a horizontal floor. a) What is the
minimum force that will make the block move if the coefficient of static
friction is 0.20? b) What is the minimum force that will keep the block
moving at uniform speed once it starts moving if the coefficient of kinetic
friction is 0.10?
