For the woman being pulled forward on the toboggan in Figure 4.33, is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the toboggan (a) equal to the total weight of the woman plus the toboggan, (b) greater than the total weight, (c) less than the total weight, or (d) possibly greater than or less than the total weight, depending on the size of the weight relative to the tension in the rope?
Why is the following situation impossible? Your 3.80-kg physics book is placed next to you on the horizontal seat of your car. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the seat is 0.650, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.550. You are traveling forward at 72.0 km/h and brake to a stop with constant acceleration over a distance of 30.0 m. Your physics book remains on the seat rather than sliding forward onto the floor.
A box weighing 150 lbs is moved across a horizontal floor by dragging it by means of rope attached to the front end. If the rope makes an angle of 30° with the floor and if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.4, determine the force exerted by the man pulling the rope.
A child wants to pull a wagon with a mass of 5.0 kg up a hill, the slope of which forms an angle of 8° with respect to the horizontal. If the child is on the slope, with the trolley stationary, what is the coefficient of static friction?
A man is walking up a hill inclined at 24 degrees at constant speed while pulling a 23.6 kg box by a rope that is attached to it. If the angle the rope makes with the surface of the hill is 31 degrees and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the hill is 0.10, what is the tension in the rope?
An object weighing 500 N is pulled along a level floor at constant speed by a rope that makes an angle of 30 degrees with the floor. If the force on the rope is 260 N, what is the coefficient of sliding friction?
A box of bananas weighing 40.0 N rests on a horizontal surface.The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surfaceis 0.40, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. If no horizontal force is applied to the box and the box is at rest, how large is the friction force exerted on it?
Suppose you have a 120-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor, with coefficient of static friction 0.500 between these wood surfaces. (a) What maximum force can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it? (b) If you continue to exert this force once the crate starts to slip, what will its acceleration then be? The coefficient of sliding friction is known to be 0.300 for this situation.
(a) At a construction site, a pallet of bricks is to be suspended by attach- ing a rope to it and connecting the other end to a couple of heavy crates on the roof of a building, as shown below. The rope pulls horizontally on the lower crate, and the coefficient of static friction between the lower crate and the roof is 0.666. (a) What is the weight of the heaviest pallet of bricks that can be supported this way? Start with appropriate free-body diagrams. (b) What is the friction force on the upper crate under the conditions of part (a)? 150 lb 250 lb Bricks
A 37-kg crate is placed on an inclined ramp.When the angle the ramp makes with the horizontal is increasedto 23°, the crate begins to slide downward. (a) What is the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the ramp? (b) At whatangle does the crate begin to slide if its mass is doubled?
A block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3oabove horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank?
