*64. GO A block is pressed against a vertical wall by a force P, as the drawing shows. This force can either push the block upward at a constant ve- locity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The magnitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle 0 is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.250. The weight of the block is 39.0 N, and the directional angle for the force P is 0 = 30.0°. Determine the magnitude of P when the block slides (a) up the wall and (b) down the wall.

A block of mass = 50.0 kg is being dragged at a constant velocity across a floor by a strong person pulling it with a rope. The rope makes an angle of 300 with the horizontal. The tension in the rope is 50.0 Newtons. Assume a real floor, with friction. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor?
A 15-pound box sits at rest on a horizontal surface, and there is friction between the box and the surface. One side of the surface is raised slowly to create a ramp. The friction force f opposes the direction of motion and is proportional to the normal force F exerted by the surface on the box. The proportionality constant is called the coefficient of friction, u. When the angle of the ramp. 0, reaches 25°, the box begins to slide. Find the value of u 15 pounds The value of u is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)

A roller-coaster car is towed up an incline at a steady speed of 0.500 m/s by a chain parallel to the surface of the incline. The slope is 3.00%, which means that the elevation increases by 3.00 m for every 100.0 m of horizontal distance. The mass of the roller-coaster car is 594 kg. Ignoring friction, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the car by the chain?
