Steps to follow:
1) Determine what forces act on the body.
2) Draw the Free-Body Diagram.
3) Use the equation of motion for the two
directions (horizontal and vertical) to estimate
the acceleration of the crate and kinematics to

4) Will the crate depart from ground?

Work and Energy Problem 2 (F14.1 [1])
The spring is placed between the wall and the 10 − 𝑘𝑔 block. If the block is subjected to a
force of 𝐹 = 500 𝑁, determine its velocity when 𝑠 = 0.5 𝑚 . When 𝑠 = 0, the block is at rest
and the spring is uncompressed. The contact surface is smooth.

Example (Single Particle)
The 100-kg crate shown in the figure is originally at rest on the smooth horizontal
surface. If a towing force of 200 N, acting at an angle of 45°, is applied for 10 sec,
determine the final velocity and the normal force which the surface exerts on
the crate during this time interval.
Free-Body Diagram.
The free body diagram is given in the provided figure.
Since all the forces acting are constant , the impulses are simply the product of the force
magnitude and 10sec 𝐼 = 𝐹𝑐 𝑡2 − 𝑡1 .
