Two boxes of masses 3M and 5M are attached by a massless rope. They are being pulled to the right with a constant force of P = 800 N, which allows them to just overcome static friction, with a μs= 0.70 between the floor and the boxes. a. Find M.
b. Find the Tension in the rope between the two boxes.

  a) about 14.577 kg

  b) 300 N

Explanation:

b) In order for the acceleration to be the same for each mass, the 800 N force must be divided between the boxes in proportion to their mass. That is, the net force on the 5M mass must be 5/8 of the total force, or 500 N. Then the tension in the rope is 800 N -500 N = 300 N, which is 3/8 of 800 N.

Tension: 300 N

__

a) The total mass is 8M, and the total normal force on the floor is ...

  F = ma = (8M)(9.8 m/s^2)

The friction force is 0.7 times this, and is equal to the 800 N force pulling on the boxes.

  800 N = (8M)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.7)

  M = 800/(8·9.8·0.7) kg ≈ 14.577 kg

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.
