According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

(1)
we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to

- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:

Answer:
It may not be at the sea level
Explanation:
The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.
Answer:
Power_input = 85.71 [W]
Explanation:
To be able to solve this problem we must first find the work done. Work is defined as the product of force by distance.

where:
W = work [J] (units of Joules)
F = force [N] (units of Newton)
d = distance [m]
We need to bear in mind that the force can be calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravity acceleration.
Now replacing:
![W = (80*10)*3\\W = 2400 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%20%3D%20%2880%2A10%29%2A3%5C%5CW%20%3D%202400%20%5BJ%5D)
Power is defined as the work done over a certain time. In this way by means of the following formula, we can calculate the required power.

where:
P = power [W] (units of watts)
W = work [J]
t = time = 40 [s]
![P = 2400/40\\P = 60 [W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%20%3D%202400%2F40%5C%5CP%20%3D%2060%20%5BW%5D)
The calculated power is the required power. Now as we have the efficiency of the machine, we can calculate the power that is introduced, to be able to do that work.
![Effic=0.7\\Effic=P_{required}/P_{introduced}\\P_{introduced}=60/0.7\\P_{introduced}=85.71[W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Effic%3D0.7%5C%5CEffic%3DP_%7Brequired%7D%2FP_%7Bintroduced%7D%5C%5CP_%7Bintroduced%7D%3D60%2F0.7%5C%5CP_%7Bintroduced%7D%3D85.71%5BW%5D)
