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 block of mass 4.20 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of θ = 50.0°angle with the horizontal as shown below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.270.arrow_forwardA crate of mass m is initially at rest at the highest point of an inclined plane, which has a height of 4.7 m and has an angle of θ = 28° with respect to the horizontal. After it has been released, it is observed to be traveling at v = 0.85 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. Find the distance d, in meters.arrow_forwardWhen a surface is horizontal and only gravity acts on an object, the normal force exerted by the surface is equal to ___________________________.

- You are holding a book of mass 10.7 kg that is initially at rest against a vertical wall by exerting a force of magnitudeF Yb = 100.8 N at an angle of θ = 34.7 degrees, as indicated in the figure.If the coefficients of friction between the book and the wall are μs = 0.46 and μk = 0.36, find the magnitude of thefrictional force from the wall on the book.arrow_forwardA block of mass m1 = 3.9 kg is placed on top of a block with mass m2 = 5.4 kg. A force, F = is applied to m2, at an angle 16.1 degrees above the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction between all moving surfaces is 0.42 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.32, determine the magnitude of the minimum force that will get the blocks moving.arrow_forwardA particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces: F, G & H.
