A box of holiday decorations has a mass of 38 kg and is being pushed across the floor. The frictional force along the surface is 56 N and it is being moved at a constant velocity. If the box is in equilibrium because all forces acting on it are equal, what must be the applied force in order for this to happen?
Two roofers are installing a new roof. Bob is sitting on the top of the roof that is angled at 23.5 degrees from the horizontal. Nate is sitting 4.1 m further down the roof. In order to get a box of shingles to Nate, Bob just slides the box directly down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction for the box and roof is 0.5, then with what speed should Bob initially push the box so that it slides to a stop right as it reaches the Nate?

A force F acts to the right on a 6.4 kg block. A 3.43 kg block is stacked on top of the 6.4 kg block and can slide on it with a coefficient of 1. 40.72541 2. 22.0506 friction of u1 =0.2 between the blocks. Both pulleys are massless and frictionless. The string is also massless. Note the axle of the upper pulley is free to move so it will accelerate to the left as the 6.4 kg block accelerates to the right. Think carefully about the magnitude of that axle's acceleration.

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 >
