The earth obviously because it is on Earth like we are and it has the same gravital properties. It falls when you drop it and rises when you pick it up
The answer you are looking for is B, hope this helps.
<span>Answer:
Therefore, x component: Tcos(24°) - f = 0 y component: N + Tsin(24°) - mg = 0 The two equations I get from this are: f = Tcos(24°) N = mg - Tsin(24°) In order for the crate to move, the friction force has to be greater than the normal force multiplied by the static coefficient, so... Tcos(24°) = 0.47 * (mg - Tsin(24°)) From all that I can get the equation I need for the tension, which, after some algebraic manipulation, yields: T = (mg * static coefficient) / (cos(24°) + sin(24°) * static coefficient) Then plugging in the values... T = 283.52.
