A block weighing 10 newtons is on a ramp inclined at 30° to the horizontal. A 3-newton force of friction acts on the block as it is pulled up the ramp at a constant velocity. The force applied to pull the box up the ramp acts parallel to the
incline. Draw the FBD for this problem and determine the magnitude of the force applied.

Consider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now equal volumes of water and light oil (ρ = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 30 in, determine the gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing.
