A 4.5-kg block rests on a rough horizontal table with a rope attached to it. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.400 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.380. The rope is pulled at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. What is the hardest you can pull on the rope while the block remains stationary on the table?

A block is at rest on a horizontal floor. There is friction between the block and the floor. The block has a mass = 5.00 kg. A horizontal force of 13.0 Newtons is applied to the block and the block starts to move in the direction of the force. What is the coefficient of static friction?
A block is pressed against a vertical wall by a force F, as the drawing shows. This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity 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 is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.260. The weight of the block is 47.0 N, and the directional angle for the force F is 0 = 48.0°. Determine the magnitude of F when the block slides (a) up the wall and (b) down the wall. (a) P = (b) P= i i P >
