My 5 kg cat wants to push his box of kitty chow off the table so it will spill a snack for his afternoon "tea". The box has a mass of 1 kg (that's 2.2 lb or 9.8 N of gravitational downward force) and the coefficient of friction with the tabletop is 0.25. About how much force does he have to push with to get the box to begin to slide? Pick the closest answer to what you calculate using your understanding of static frictional forces. A. 9.8 N B. 25 N C. 2.2 lb D. 2.5 N

An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (as shown), Nick pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 250 N. Nick’s true weight is320 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick’s feet are not touching the ground. (a) Draw one pair of diagrams showing the forces for Nick and the chair considered as separate systems and another diagram for Nick and the chair considered as one system. (b) Show that the acceleration of the system is upward and find its magnitude. (c) Find the force Nick exerts on the chair.
