Answer each of the following questions for the case in which the student is pushing as hard as possible without causing the box to slide. How many forces are acting on the box? 4 What is the magnitude of the friction? What is the magnitude of the normal force from the floor? Which coefficient of friction can be determined in this case? static What is the value of this coefficient friction? none

A student is attempting to move a 30-kg mini-fridge into her dorm room. During a moment of Inattention, the mini-fridge slides down a 35 degree incline at constant speed when she applies a force of 25 N acting up and parallel to the Incline. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the fridge and the surface of the incline?
While sliding a couch across a floor, Andrea and Jennifer exert forces FA and FJ on the couch. Andrea’s force is due north with a magnitude of 130.0 N and Jennifer’s force is 32 east of north with a magnitude of 180.0 N. (a) Find the net force in component form. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the net force. (c) If Andrea and Jennifer’s housemates, David and Stephanie, disagree with the move and want to prevent its relocation, with what combined forceFDS should they push so that the couch does not move?
