60. Go The drawing shows a circus clown who weighs 890 N. The coefficient of static friction between the clown's feet and the ground is 0.53. He pulls verti- cally downward on a rope that passes around three pulleys and is tied around his feet. What is the mini- mum pulling force that the clown must exert to yank his feet out from under himself?

I want to slide again!Context On this beautiful winter day, you brought your little cousin to sled. She loved her first descent and would like you to take her back in her sled to the top of the slope. You can't refuse anything from this little one! You start to pull on the rope of the sled to pull your cousin up, wondering again how much force will be needed. Information You know your cousin's mass.You go up the slope pulling your cousin at a constant speed.You know the angle of inclination of the slope (let's call it theta ).You know the angle the sled rope makes with respect to the inclined plane (let's call it phi ).You know the static and kinetic friction coefficients of the sled. Schematization Draw a diagram of the object that interests us. Draw your x and y axes. Draw and name each force experienced by the object that interests us. Modelization Create a model for the tension in the string as you reassemble your cousin, using the relevant information from what is known. Then test…
11. Jason works for a moving company. A crate of mass m is sitting on a ramp on his truck; the ramp is angled at an angle with respect to the horizontal. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between the crate and his truck bed are p, and , respectively. What is the magnitude of the force, directed parallel to the ramp, that he needs to exert on the crate to get it to start moving (a) up the ramp and (b) down the ramp? Your answers will be in terms on the symbols m, 0, μs, k and g.

Multiple part question: A worker in a factory slides a heavy box up a ramp into a truck. The box has a mass of 84 kg, and the ramp is 3 m long and makes an angle of 34° with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and ramp is 0.6. What is the weight of the box? What is the normal force acting on the box? What is the force of friction acting on the box? Assuming the worker pushes the box up the ramp with a constant velocity, how much work does the factory worker do on the box in order to get it into the truck? How much gravitational potential energy does the box have once it reaches the top of the ramp?

3. A 180 g hockey puck slides on (frictionless) ice at a speed of 2 m/s. It then slides onto a carpet, which exerts a constant frictional force F₁ = 0.7 N in the direction opposite the puck's direction of motion. (a) Draw two free body diagrams: one when the puck is on the ice, and the other when the puck is on the carpet. Include any forces acting in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the ice or carpet) and any acting in the horizontal direction (parallel to the ice or carpet). (b) Do you expect the velocity of the puck to be constant on the ice? How about on the carpet? Why or why not? (c) How far does the puck travel on the carpet before coming to a stop?

The mass of the man is 85 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the runway is 0.77. What is the greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane? Assume that the airplane is on wheels that turn without any frictional resistance.
4. The Trendelenburg Position. In emergencies with major blood loss, the doctor will order the patient placed in the Trendelenburg position, in which the foot of the bed is raised to get maximum blood flow to the brain. If the coefficient of static friction between the typical patient and the bedsheets is 1.20, what is the maximum angle at which the bed can be tilted with respect to the floor before the patient begins to slide? Consider that the mass = 1.5 kg 5. Consider the shown in the figure below. Block A weighs 45.0 N and block B weighs 25.0 N. Once block B is set into downward motion, it descends at a constant speed. (a) Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the tabletop. (b) A cat, also of weight 45.0 N, falls asleep on top of block A.
