An iron rod is held up by a magnet as shown. The magnet is held up by a string.
1. In the spaces below, sketch a free-body diagram for the iron rod and a separate free-body diagram for the magnet.
The label for each of the forces on your diagrams should indicate:
- the type of force (e.g., gravitational, normal),
- the object on which the force is exerted, and
- the object exerting the force.
2. For each of the forces shown in your diagram for the iron rod, identify the corresponding force that completes the
3. How would your diagram for the iron rod change if the magnet were replaced with a stronger magnet? Which forces would change (in type or in magnitude)? Which forces would remain the same?

- the problem, explain in words as much as you do know. 12. The inclined plane shown is tilted at an angle a = 20° with respect to the horizontal. Mass m, = 25 kg and m2 = 10 kg. A. If mass m2 is moving downward and the tension in the rope connecting the masses has magnitude 140 N, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction ug between mass m, and the ramp? B. If mass m, is moving down the ramp when the rope connecting the masses is cut, what is the acceleration of mass m, after the rope goes slack? Is the mass slowing down or speeding up?
