Momentum and Newton's Laws of Motion problem 59


Tom pulls a log with a force of 30 N at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the horizontal. The frictional force between the log and the ground is 21 N, the weight of the log is 40 N, and the ground acts with a force of 19 N on the log. Draw all the forces acting on the log on a scale and determine whether Newton's first law applies to the motion of the log.
