A 2.0-m-high box with a 1.0-m-square base is moved across a rough floor as in Fig. 9–89. The uniform box weighs 250N and has a coefficient of static friction with the floor of 0.60. What minimum force must be 1.0 m exerted on the box to make it slide? What is the maximum height h above the floor that this force can be applied without tip- ping the box over? Note that as the box tips, the normal force CG 2.0 m FN and the friction force will act at the lowest corner. Fir FIGURE 9-89 Problem 74.

Note: Unless stated otherwise, the weights of the wires, rods, and other elements are assumed to be negligible. Elastic moduli of selected materials are given In Table 12.1 13.Why can a squirrel jump from a tree branch to the ground and run away undamaged, while a human could break a bone In such a fall?
Check Your Understanding A 400.0-N sign hangs from the end of a uniform strut. The strut is 4.0 m long and weighs 600.0 N. The strut is supported by a hinge at the wall and by a cable whose other end is tied to the wall at a point 3.0 m above the left end of the strut. Find the tension in the supporting cable and the force of the hinge on the strut.

In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
If the coefficient of static friction between a car’s tires andthe pavement is 0.65, calculate the minimum torque thatmust be applied to the 66-cm-diameter tire of a 1080-kgautomobile in order to “lay rubber” (make the wheels spin,slipping as the car accelerates). Assume each wheel supportsan equal share of the weight.
Consider a 5.00m long ladder, with a mass of 25.0kg that can be approximated as uniformly distructed. The ladder is standing at an angle of 70 degrees to the horizontal, leaning against a wall. There is a person weighing 80.0kg that is standing 2.00m up along the ladder's length. If the force of the all is directly horizontal, calculate the force of friction between the ground and the ladder that's required to keep it from slipping(Hint: assume net torque about the ground is 0, and use that to calculate the force in magnitude) b) If the ladder was instead at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal, would the frictional force required be greater, equal or the same?

Climbers attempting to cross a stream place a 340-kg log against a vertical, frictionless ice cliff on the opposite side (as illustrated in the Figure below). The log slopes up at 27 degrees and its center of gravity is one-third of the way along its 6.3-m length (as marked in the Figure). If the coefficient of friction of the log and the ground is 0.92, what’s the maximum mass of climber and pack to cross without the log slipping?
