Chapter 5.8, Problem 5.7QQ

Charlie is playing with his daughter Toney in the snow. She sits on a sled and asks him to slide her across a flat, horizontal field. Charlie has a choice of (a) pushing her from behind by applying a force downward on her shoulders at 30° below the horizontal (Fig. 5.18a) or (b) attaching a rope to the front of the sled and pulling with a force at 30° above the horizontal (Fig. 5.18b). Which would be easier for him and why?

A 17-year-old employee working for Southern Virginia College's (SVC) bookstore during the summer months is helping prepare for Fall sales. It's a good way to make extra money, and the teen is saving for a car. Books from one supplier are shipped to the SVC bookstore in large crates equipped with rope handles on all sides. On one occasion, the teen momentarily pulled with a force of 707 N at an angle of 33.7° above the horizontal to accelerate a 121-kg crate of books. The coefficient of friction between the crates and the vinyl floor is 0.55. Determine the acceleration experienced by the crate in m/s2.  Use the approximation g ≈ 10 m/s2.
A 1.00 × 103-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force → F of 3.00× 102 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in Figure a. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (b) If the 3.00 × 102-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in Figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).
A 16-year-old employee working for Southern Virginia College's (SVC) bookstore during the summer months is helping prepare for Fall sales. It's a good way to make extra money, and the teen is saving for a car. Books from one supplier are shipped to the SVC bookstore in large crates equipped with rope handles on all sides. On one occasion, the teen momentarily pulled with a force of 708 N at an angle of 34.2° above the horizontal to accelerate a 114-kg crate of books. The coefficient of friction between the crates and the vinyl floor is 0.587. Determine the acceleration experienced by the crate in m/s². Use the approximation g 10 m/s². Answer: m/s² (rounded to the hundredths or thousandths place)
