A student wants to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between a box and a plank. She places the box on the plank and gradually raises one end of the plank. When the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches 30, the box starts to slip, and it then slides 2.5 m down the plank in 4.0 s at constant acceleration. What are (a) the coefficient of static friction and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank?
Two telephone poles are separated by 40 m and connected by a wire. A bird of mass 0.5 kg lands on the wire midway between the poles, causing the wire to sag 2 m below horizontal. Assuming the wire has negligible mass, what is the tension in the wire?
A 12 ft long, 38 lb ladder leans against a frictionless wall. The coefficient of friction
between the ladder and the ground, however, is 0.321. Can a 190 lb man walk up the
ladder all the way? If not, how far up (m) can he climb before the ladder begins to slip?
