**Physics Problem Solving: Maximum Mass Calculation**In this scenario, a hiker must assist his friend who has fallen. The hiker uses a rope tied to a rock with mass \( m_r = 3.90 \times 10^2 \, \text{kg} \) to rescue his friend. The goal is to determine the maximum mass of the friend, \( m_f \), that the rock can support without slipping, allowing both hikers to safely climb over the ledge.**Problem Parameters:**- Coefficient of static friction (\( \mu_s \)) between the rock and the ground: 0.283- Mass of the hiker (\( m_h \)): 70.1 kg- The rope is assumed parallel to the ground and the ledge is frictionless where the rope passes over.**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram shows a rocky terrain with the following key elements:- A large rock on top, represented as \( m_r \), which the rope is tied to.- The hiker, mass \( m_h \), standing at the edge and leaning over the precipice.- The friend, mass \( m_f \), hanging below supported by the rope held by the hiker.**Calculation Objective:**Determine \( m_f \), the maximum mass of the friend that allows for a safe rescue. Solve for \( m_f \) using static friction principles and the given data.**Formula:**Use the equation of static friction and Newton's laws to derive \( m_f \). Consider the maximum static frictional force that holds the rock in place.\[ m_f = \text{...} \, \text{kg} \]Educators can engage students in solving for \( m_f \) using these parameters and understanding the application of friction and force balance in practical scenarios.
