1.) A student moves a box of books down the hall by pulling on a rope attached to a box up a ramp. The student pulls with a force of 185N at an angle of 25° above the horizontal. The box has a mass of 35kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.27. Find the acceleration of the box. 2.) The student in item 1 above moves the box up a ramp inclined at 12° with the horizontal. If the box starts from rest at the bottom of the ramp and is pulled at an angle of 25° with respect to the incline and with the same 185N force, what is the acceleration up the ramp?
