Two snowcats in Antarctica are towing a housing unit to a new location, as
shown in Fig. 4-38.
The sum of the forces
Fa and Fg exerted
on the unit by the
L
horizontal cables is
parallel to the line L,
and
32°
Fa = 4500 N.
Determine FB and
the magnitude of
FA + FB.

Ablue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.5 m/s 2 . a green car arrives at the position of the stop-light 6.5 s after the light had turned green. if t = 0 when the light turns green, at what time does the green car catch the blue car if the green car maintains the slowest constant speed necessary to catch up to the blue car? answer in units of s.
