Jane works at a grocery store. she has a large crate of bananas with a mass of 13 kg to move to the produce aisle.

a. what is the weight of the crate?

b. what is the normal force acting on the crate when it sits on the floor? explain how you found the answer.

c. if she pushes on the box with a force of 40 n and there is no friciton, what is the acceleraiton of the box?

d. if the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.2, what si the maximum force of static friction acting on the crate?

e. if she pushes on the crate with a force of 12 n, what is the force of static friction on the crate ? explain how you found the answer.

f. if she pushes on the create with a force of 40 n, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15, what is the net force on the create in the x-direction?

g. based on your answer in part (f), what is the acceleration of the crate?

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
