'''''Important Setup Notes:''''' 
 *  N/A


'''Setup and Procedure:''' 

 1. Explain the different forces acting on the block.


'''Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:'''
 * N/A


'''Discussion:''' 
As an example, if the block sits on the table, there are two forces acting on it: gravity due to the earth and the normal force due to the table. If the block is pulled accross the table, there are four forces acting on the block: in addition the aforementioned two, there is now the tension due to the string and friction due to the table.
