- A trunk with a weight of 250N is at rest on a floor. The coefficients of friction between the trunk and floor are H=0.200 and Ps=0.350. a) What is the largest horizontal force that can be applied to the trunk for which the trunk will not move? (Any force larger than this will start the trunk moving). b) Once the trunk is moving, what horizontal force is required to keep the trunk moving with a constant speed?arrow_forwardIn the situation illustrated in the figure below, a small package is deposited by a conveyor belt at point A onto a ramp at 0 = 50° degrees to the horizontal with a velocity of 0.8 m/s. The distance between points A and Bis 2 m. C В a) Calculate the maximum value 4t of the kinetic friction coefficient between the package and the ramp AB for which the parcel reaches point B. b) If the actual kinetic friction coefficient between the package and AB and BC is µi = 0.6 H, calculate the distance s on the level surface BC at which the package comes to rest.arrow_forwardA 235 N crate rests on a ramp; the maximum angle just before it slips is 27.8° with the horizontal. What is the coefficient of static friction between crate and ramp surfaces? Answer:arrow_forward
- A 1520-N crate is to be held in place on a ramp that rises at 30.0° above the horizontal (see figure). The massless rope attached to the crate makes a 22.0° angle above the surface of the ramp. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the surface of the ramp are uk = 0.450 and ls = 0.650 The pulley has no appreciable mass or friction. What is the MAXIMUM weight w that can be used to hold this crate stationary on the ramp? w = ? 22.0° Crate Ramp 30.0°arrow_forwardA 118 kg box sits on a flat surface where it has a static friction coefficient of us = 0.524 anda kinetic friction coefficient of Mx = 0.318. What is the minimum horizontal force that a worker mustapply in order to get the box to begin moving?arrow_forwardMany birds can attain very high speeds when diving. Using radar, scientists measured the altitude of a barn swallow in a vertical dive; it dropped 208 m in 3.0 s. The mass of the swallow was estimated to be 0.018 kg, and its cross-section area as 5.6 x 10-4 m2. What was the drag coefficient for this swallow as it dove?arrow_forward
- Please answer it within 30 minutes.I will upvote! A skier is going down a hill at a constant speed in the downward direction. The skier’s mass is 70 ?? and the hill is at an angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal. Both surface friction and air drag are considered. What is the air drag force (in unit of N) along the direction of the velocity? Assume the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.3; the gravity on the earth is 9.8 m/s2; cos(30 degree) is 0.866, and sin(30 degree) is 0.5. Round the answer to two decimal points. (You must use the numbers/constants provided here for the calculation)arrow_forwardYou are climbing on a hill that is inclined at 15° with the horizontal and you wish to build a rope tow to pull yourself up. Ignoring friction, calculate the tension you needed on the rope to give your body that has a mass of 45kg at 1.5 m/s^2 acceleration. What if you are to consider the friction of 100N, what is the value of the tension and coefficient of friction?arrow_forwardIn a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard, students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallway. If the 3.5 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 0.92 m by the horizontal 26 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 1.28 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor?arrow_forward
- A 5 kg box sits at rest at the bottom of a ramp that is 8 m long and that is inclined at 30° above the horizontal. Thecoefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.50. What constant force, appliedparallel to the surface of the ramp is required to push the box to the top of the ramp in a time of 4 s?arrow_forwardThe upper leg muscle (quadriceps) exerts a force of 1350 N, which is carried by a tendon over the kneecap (the patella) at the angles shown in Figure 5.43. Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the kneecap on the upper leg bone (the femur). (counter-clockwise from an axis directed to the left) X N X Figure 5.43 Foarrow_forwardIn figure (a) below, a sled is held on an inclined plane by a cord pulling directly up the plane. The sled is to be on the verge of moving up the plane. In figure (b) below, the magnitude F required of the cord's force on the sled is plotted versus a range of values for the coefficient of static friction us between sled and plane: F1 = 2.5 N, F, = 5.3 N, and µɔ = 0.65.
