To avoid a collision while traveling at a speed of 19 m/sec and descending a steep mountain pass with a grade of 4.3%, a truck locks up all wheels and skids to a stop over a distance of 90 meters. Determine the coefficient of friction between the truck tires and pavement.
A 2.20 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force of magnitude 4.83 N and a vertical force are then applied to the block (Fig. 6-17). The coefficients of friction for the block and surface are µs = 0.4 and µk = 0.25. Determine the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block if the magnitude of is (a) 8.00 N and (b) 12.0 N. (The upward pull is insufficient to move the block vertically.)
How many degrees should the angle (x) of the inclined plane be if the values of the mass m are 3 kg <m <30 kg so that the 50 kg block on the inclined plane does not move upward and downward along the plane (static friction coefficient between the contact surfaces ıs 0.30)?
