Question

You drag a heavy box along a rough horizontal floor by a horizontal rope.

Part B:
Identify the reaction force to the friction force on the box.

A) The friction force is a horizontal force applied to the box by the floor. The reaction force is the pull of the box on the rope.

B) The friction force is a horizontal force applied to the box by the floor. The reaction force is a horizontal force in the opposite direction applied by the box to the floor.

C) The friction force is a horizontal force applied to the box by the floor. The reaction force is a downward force applied by the box to the floor.

Part C:
Identify the reaction force to the normal force on the box.

A) The normal force is an upward force applied by the floor to the box. The reaction force is the pull of the box on the rope.

B) The reaction force is a horizontal force applied by the box to the floor.

C) The normal force is an upward force applied by the floor to the box. The reaction force is a downward force applied by the box to the floor.
