Open Ended

Correct answer gets an extra point

Multiple Choice

Are these two situations the same?

• Yes, same magnitude of force

• No, different type of force

• Not enough information

Multiple Choice

In which way does the pulley move?

$$m_1=36\ kg$$  

$$m_2=27\ kg$$  

• in the way of box $$m_2$$  

• in the way of box $$m_1$$  

• not enough information

• pulley doesn't move

Multiple Choice

In which way does the middle box move?

$$m_2=7\ kg$$  

$$m_3=4\ kg$$  

Assume the table is frictionless.

• in the way of box $$m_2$$  

• in the way of box $$m_3$$  

• not enough information

• pulley doesn't move
