Measuring coefficients of friction A coin is placed near one edge of a book lying on a table, and that edge of the book is lifted until the coin just slips down the incline as shown in Figure P4.82. The angle of the incline, C, called the critical angle, is measured. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the coin when it is on the verge of slipping and identify all forces acting on it. Your free-body diagram should include a force of static friction acting up the incline. (b) Is the magnitude of the friction force equal to sn for angles less than C? Explain. What can you definitely say about the magnitude of the friction force for any angle c? (c) Show that the coefficient of static friction is given by s = tan c. (d) Once the coin starts to slide down the incline, the angle can be adjusted to a new value c c such that the coin moves down the incline with constant speed. How does observation enable you to obtain the coefficient of kinetic friction? Figure P4.82

Construct Your Own Problem Consider people pushing a toboggan with four children on it up a snow-covered slope.

Show vector forces and their components and explain the choice of coordinates. Among the things to be considered are the forces exerted by those pushing, the angle of the slope, and the masses of the toboggan and children.
