1.A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 225 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 600 N horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 550 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor. (a) the coefficient of static friction = and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction = 2. A block with mass m1 = 4.00 kg and a ball with mass m2 = 8.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as shown in Figure. Find the acceleration of the two objects and the tension in the string. Also calculate the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from rest. (a) the acceleration of the two objects = m/s2 (b) the Tension in the string = N (c) distance each object will move in the first…
1. You are working as a letter sorter in the Post Office. Postal regulations require that employees' footwear must have a minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a co-worker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation? 7

A100-kg sofa needs to be moved across a level floor. The coefficient of static friction between the sofa and the floor is 0.40. Two physics students decide to apply a force F!" on the sofa. One student recommends that the force be applied upward at an angle theta above the horizontal. The other student recommends that the force be applied downward at an angle theta below the horizontal. Explain which student has the better idea and why.
