A woman uses a rope to pull a block of mass m across a level floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is k. The rope makes an angle with the floor. Find an algebraic expression for the tension in the rope in terms of the parameters listed in the problem and any constants.
A car of mass 1000.0 kg is traveling along a level road at 100.0 km/h when its brakes are applied. Calculate the stopping distance if the coefficient of kinetic friction of the tires is 0.500. Neglect air resistance. (Hint: since the distance traveled is of interest rather than the time, xis the desired independent variable and not t . Use the Chain Rule to change the variable: dvdt=dvdxdxdt=vdvdx ).
An automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.

To determine the coefficients of friction between rubber and various surfaces, a student uses a rubber eraser and an incline. In one experiment, the eraser begins to slip down the incline when the angle of inclination is 36.0 and then moves down the incline with constant speed when the angle is reduced to 30.0. From these data, determine the coefficients of static and kinetic friction for this experiment.
A skier weighing 90 kg starts from rest down a hill inclined at 17°. He skis 100 m down the hill and then coasts for 70 m along level snow until he stops. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow. What velocity does the skier have at the bottom of the hill?
We know from studying friction forces that static friction increases with increasing normal force between the surfaces, which becomes important for vehicles traveling on icy or snowy roads that have coefficients of static friction much smaller than those of dry pavement. In particular, the greater the normal force on the drive wheels (those coupled to the engine), the better the traction. The horizontal position of the center of mass of a typical compact automobile is located 1.1 m toward the rear as measured from the front wheel axle. The wheelbase (distance from the front wheel axle to the rear wheel axle) is 2.7 m. Assume the car is stationary on level ground and has a weight of 12,000 N. Determine the total normal force on the two front tires and on the two rear tires. Which do you suppose are the drive wheels in this case?
