Problem 1: While training on the planet Dagobah, Luke Skywalker is asked by Yoda to hold a block with a mass of 6.80kg against a vertical wall using only the Force. Luke applies the Force with a magnitude of 115.0N at an angle of 52.0° with respect to the horizontal. Luke discovers that if the Force increases any more, the block begins to slide up the wall. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall? Assume that gravity on Dagobah is the same as gravity on Earth.
You are pulling your luggage in an air port for an international flight. You know not to pack too much else they charge you extra fees so you weighted your luggage at home to be 22.0 kg. You exert a pull of 46 N in magnitude and at 24 degrees above the horizontal to ensure you can walk at a constant speed on the carpeted floor. What is the coefficient of friction between the caster wheels and the carpet?
A(n) 19_kg mass is on an incline, with a = 4.5_m and b = 2.3_m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the surface of the incline is µg = 0.36. If the mass is initially near the top of the incline and sliding down, then what is the mass's acceleration down the incline? m b
A block is placed on the midpoint of a ramp that is inclined at an angle of 39.8º from the horizontal, at which point the block immediately starts to slide down the ramp due to the fact that the static friction limit for this particular case is insufficient to hold the block in place. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is 0.277 , what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block as it slides down the ramp.
10. To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a specified tile surface. A typical athletic shoe has a coefficient of static friction of 0.800. In an emergency, what is the minimum time interval in which a person starting from rest can move 3.00 m on the tile surface if she is wearing (a) footwear meeting the Postal Service minimum and (b) a typical athletic shoe?
