Chapter 6, Problem 1PCE
Predict/Explain You push two identical bricks across a tabletop with constant speed, U, as shown in Figure 6-29 in case 1, you place the bricks end to end, in case 2, you stack the bricks one on top of the other. (a) Is the
Figure 6-29
Problem 1
- I. The normal force in case 2 is larger and hence the bricks press down more firmly against the tabletop.
- II. The normal force is the same in the two cases and friction is independent of surface area.
- III. Case 1 has more surface area in contact with the tabletop, and this leads to more friction.

cooler of water? Example
43 ..A statue is crated and moved for cleaning. The mass of
the statue and the crate is 150 kg. As the statue slides down a
ramp inclined at 40.0°, the curator pushes up, parallel to the
ramp's surface, so that the crate does not accelerate (Figure 6-40).
If the statue slides 3.0 m down the ramp, and the coefficient of
kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is 0.54, calculate
the work done on the crate by each of the following: (a) the
itational force, (b) the curator, (c) the friction force, and (d) the
normal force between the ramp and the crate. SSM Example 6-3
