Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.38E
A box with mass m is dragged across a level floor with coefficient of kinetic friction μk by a rope that is pulled upward at an angle θ above the horizontal with a force of magnitude F.
- (a) In terms of m, μk, θ and g, obtain an expression for the magnitude of the force required to move the box with constant speed.
- (b) Knowing that you are studying physics, a CPR instructor asks you how much force it would take to slide a 90-kg patient across a floor at constant speed by pulling on him at an angle of 25° above the horizontal. By dragging weights wrapped in an old pair of pants down the hall with a spring balance, you find that μk = 0.35. Use the result of part (a) to answer the instructor’s question.

the coefficient of static friction between block A and a horizontal floor is 0.320, and the coefficient of static friction between block B and the floor is 0.300. The mass of each block is 2.00kg,and they are connected together by a cord. If a horizontal force F pulling on block B is slowly increased ,in a direction parallel to the connectin cord,until the block start sliding ,what is the magnitude of F at the instant that they start to slide?
A block moving to the right on a level surface with friction is pulled by an increasing horizontal force also directed to the right. As the applied force increases, which of the following is true of the normal force (N) and the frictional force (f) on the block?
a
N: remains constant; f: decreases
b
N: remains constant; f: increases
c
N: remains constant; f: remains constant
d
N: increases; f: increases
e
N: increases; f: remains constant
If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object’s velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi − kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
