SSM A block of mass mt = 4.0 kg is put on top of a block of mass mb = 5.0 kg. To cause the top block to slip on the bottom one while the bottom one is held fixed, a horizontal force of at least 12 N must be applied to the top block. The assembly of blocks is now placed on a horizontal, frictionless table (Fig. 6-47). Find the magnitudes of (a) the maximum horizontal force

A train consists of a 50-Mg engine and three cars, each having a mass of 30 Mg. If it takes 80 s for the train to increase its speed uniformly to 40 km/h, starting from rest, determine the force T developed at the coupling between the engine E and the first car A. The wheels of the engine provide a resultant frictional tractive force F which gives the train forward motion, whereas the car wheels roll freely. Also, determine F acting on the engine wheels.arrow_forward61 SSM A block of mass m, 40 kg is put on top of a block of mass 5.0 kg.

- A large box of mass 11.4 kg sits on a ramp that makes an angle of 30.1 degrees with the horizontal. The surface of the ramp is rough and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are given as 0.56 and 0,38, respectively. We exert a force up the ramp (parallel to the ramp surface) so that the box does not move. Calculate the maximum and the minimum magnitude of the force we can exert so that the box does not move. Enter the difference between the maximum and the minimum force values here: Fmax-Fmin (in Newtons). On your paper, show all the forces on free-body diagrams, clearly show your work, your derivation and calculations. Make sure to include your physics-based reasoning.arrow_forward*55 SSM ILW www Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table.
