23. A farmhand attaches a 25-kg bale of hay to one end of a rope passing over a frictionless pulley connected to a beam in the hay barn. Another farmhand then pulls down on the opposite end of the rope with a force of 277 N. Ignoring the mass of the rope, what will be the magnitude and direction of the bales acceleration if the gravitational force acting on it is 245 N?
24. A three-tiered birthday cake rests on a table. From bottom to top, the cake tiers weigh 16 N, 9 N, and 5 N, respectively. What is the magnitude and direction of the normal force acting on the second-tier?
25. A couch with a mass of 1.00 102 kg is placed on an adjustable ramp connected to a truck. As one end of the ramp is raised, the couch begins to move downward. If the couch slides down the ramp with an acceleration of 0.70 m/s2 when the ramp angle is 25.0, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the couch? (g 9.81 m/s2)
