**94. A 5.00-kg block is placed on top of a 12.0-kg block that rests on a frictionless table. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.600. What is the maximum horizontal force that can be applied be- fore the 5.00-kg block begins to slip relative to the 12.0-kg block, if the force is applied to (a) the more massive block and (b) the less massive block?

In the figure below, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance a is 0.956 m and distance L is 2.00 m. His center of mass is distance d = 0.944 m from the feet-ground contact point. If he is on the verge of sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction between feet and ground? |---Select-- v com-
A 5.0-kg box is sitting on the floor and it will not move if the force is smaller than 35.0 N. - What is the coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor? - If the 35.0-N force continues, the box accelerates at 0.38 m/s^2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

11. A 6.0 kg block sits at rest on a 25° inclined plane. If this is the steepest the ramp can be before the block slides, determine the coefficient of static friction between the block and plane. 0.89 0.29 0.68 0.47
1. A block of mass 3.00-kg is pushed against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of 50.00 with the horizontal as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.250. Determine the possible values for the magnitude of P that allow the block to remain stationary.
A friend has given a special gift, a box of mass 10.0 Kg with a mystery surprise inside. The box is resting on the smooth (frictionless) horizontal surface of a table. a-)determine the weight of the box and the normal force exerted on it by the table. b-)now your friend pushes down on the box with a force of 40.0N, determine the normal force. c-)If your friend pulls upward on the box with a force of 40.0N, what now is the normal force?
Choose the coefficient of friction wisely. Relevant information is given in the textbook. a. What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 70.0 kg of her mass on that knee? Fmax 686.7 XN b. During strenuous exercise it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily ten times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? (The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pain.) Fmax = N
4. The two boxes are connected by a heavy uniform rope with a of 4.00 kg. An upward force of 200 N is applied as F = 200 N mass shown. (a) Draw three free-body diagrams: one for the 6.00-kg block, one for the 4.00-kg rope, and another one for the 5.00-kg 6.00 kg block. For each force, indicate what body exerts that force. (b) What is the acceleration of the system? (c) What is the tension at the top of the heavy rope? (d) What is the tension at the midpoint of the rope? 4.00 kg 5.00 kg
A man pulls a 50.0-kg block of ice with a rope over his shoulder as shown below. Suppose that he applies just enough force to get the block moving and then he continues to apply the same force. If it takes 2.00 seconds for the block to move 3.00 meters and if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is ?? =0.100, determine the coefficient of static friction ?? between the block and the surface. You may assume that the acceleration of the block is constant.
