A pickup truck carries cans of paint (each of mass m) in the back bed. The coefficient of static friction between the cans and the bed of the truck is 0.54. There is no back gate to the truck. When the truck accelerates from rest, the paint cans do not slip out of the bed of the truck. (a) If the truck travels in the positive x-direction, in what direction does the static friction force act? (b) What is the maximum allowable acceleration the truck can have without losing paint cans out of the back, in terms of the variables given in the problem (and g if relevant)? (c) How long must the driver take to accelerate to 55 mph in order to avoid losing paint cans out of the truck's back?

For the woman being pulled forward on the toboggan in Figure 4.33, is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the toboggan (a) equal to the total weight of the woman plus the toboggan, (b) greater than the total weight, (c) less than the total weight, or (d) possibly greater than or less than the total weight, depending on the size of the weight relative to the tension in the rope?
Suppose your friend is sitting on a sled and asks you to move her across a flat, horizontal field. You have a choice of (a) pushing her from behind by applying a force downward on her shoulders at 30 below the horizontal (Fig. 4.22a) or (b) attaching a rope to the front of the sled and pulling with a force at 30 above the horizontal (Fig. 4.22b). Which option would be easier and why?
The coefficient of static friction between the 3.00-kg crate and the 35.0 incline of Figure P4.31 is 0.300. What minimum force F must be applied to the crate perpendicular to the incline to prevent the crate from sliding down the incline? Figure P4.31
A pickup truck is carrying a 10.0 kgkg toolbox, but the tailgate of the truck is missing, so the box can slide out if it starts moving. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the toolbox and the truck bed are 0.34 and 0.15, respectively. Assume that the truck bed is horizontal. What is the shortest time the truck could take to accelerate from rest to 9.60 m/sm/s without causing the toolbox to slide?
A dockworker adjusts rope which keeps a ship from drifting alongside a wharf. If he exerts a pull of 200 N on the rope, which has turns of 1 ¼ around the mooring bit, what force T can he support? The coefficient of friction between the rope and the cast-steel mooring bit is 0.30
A box of mass ?= 5.00 kg is at rest on a horizontal rough surface. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between the surface and the box are μ?= 0.450 and μ?= 0.400, respectively.

If the magnitude of the force ?⃗ is 25.0 N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block?
15- A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 59 kg to the second floor of the house. As he pulls on the rope tied to the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp, which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sofa and the ramp is 0.460, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope in newtons.
