Predict/Calculate Referring to Example 6-3 Suppose the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the crate and the truck bed are 0.415 and 0.382, respectively. (a) Does the crate begin to slide at a tilt angle that is greater than, less than, or equal to 23.2°? (b) Verify your answer to part (a) by determining the angle at which the crate begins to slide. (c) Find the length of time it takes for the crate to slide a distance of 2.75 m when the tilt angle has the value found in part (b).

- When you learn to drive, you discover that you need to let up slightly on the brake pedal as you come to a stop or the car will stop with a jerk. Explain this in terms of the relationship between static and kinetic friction.arrow_forwardAn automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.arrow_forwardWhen you learn to drive, you discover that you need to up slightly on the brake pedal as you come to a stop or the car will stop with a jerk.

- A 2.0kg block rests on a level surface. The coefficient of static friction is μs= 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μs = 0.40 A horizontal force , F, is applied to the block. As F is increased, the block begins moving. describe how the force of friction varies as F increases from the moment the block is at rest to when it begins moving. Indicate how you could determine the force of friction at each value of F - before the block starts moving, at the point it starts moving, and after it is moving. please show all work. arrow_forwardA 10-lb block B rests as shown on a 20-lb bracket A. The coefficients of friction are μs= 0.30 and uk = 0.25 between block B and bracket A , and there is no friction in the pulley or between the bracket and the horizontal surface. (a) Determine the maximum weight of block C if block B is not to slide on bracket A.(b) If the weight of block C is 10 percent larger than the answer found in a, determine the accelerations of A, B, and C.arrow_forwardCalculate the maximum acceleration of a car that is heading down a 6.00° slope (one that makes an angle of 6.00° with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. You may assume that the weight of the car is evenly distributed on all four tires and that the coefficient of static friction is involved—that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the deceleration. (Ignore rolling.) Calculate for a car: (a) On dry concrete. (b) On wet concrete. (c) On ice, assuming that μs = 0.100 , the same as for shoes on ice.arrow_forward
- You are lowering two boxes, one on top of the other, down a ramp by pulling on a rope parallel to the surface of the ramp. Both blocks move with constant velocity of 15.0 [ ? ? ]. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.444 and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.800. Determine the angle at which the top block will start to slide down the bottom block. No worries. I'm apologize too, I forgot to add the illustration.arrow_forwardA 3.0 kg cinder block is dragged down a ( horizontal) picnic table.

Assume that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of static friction of 0.500 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.400 with the flatbed of the truck. If the truck needs to stop in 10.0 m with constant acceleration, what is the force of friction between the load and the truck when the brake is first applied?arrow_forwardan adventurous archeologist crosses between two rocks cliffs, with a ranging river far below, by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope. The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 3.00 x 10⁴N, and our heros mass is 81.6 kg. a. if the angle that the rope makes with the cliff is 75°find the tension in the rope. b. What is the smallest value the angle can have if the rope is not to break?arrow_forwardA 4.0-kg square block is on an incline plane of 30 degrees angle with respect to the ground. 1)What is the minimum coefficient of static friction (μs)min is need to prevent it from sliding down the incline? 2) When the surface μs is 0.30 to prevent the block sliding, a horizontal force F, parallel to the ground, is applied to the block. find the minimum magnitude of F required to keep the block from moving. 3) When a 20 N uphill force is applied to the block, the block starts to move up along the incline.
