Problem 1: While training on the planet Dagobah, Luke Skywalker is asked by Yoda to hold a block with a mass of 6.80kg against a vertical wall using only the Force. Luke applies the Force with a magnitude of 115.0N at an angle of 52.0° with respect to the horizontal. Luke discovers that if the Force increases any more, the block begins to slide up the wall. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall? Assume that gravity on Dagobah is the same as gravity on Earth.
A 5.0 g coin is placed 15 cm from the center of a turntable. The coin has static and kinetic coefficients of friction with the turntable surface of μs = 0.70 and μk = 0.50. The turntable very slowly speeds up. What is the frequency of the rotation of the turntable expressed in revolutions per minute when the coin slides off? Express your answer in revolutions per minute.

What is the weight of the heaviest pallet of bricks that can be supported this way? (Hint: Start by drawing appropriate free-body diagrams.) (Express your answer in pounds.) What is the friction force on the upper crate under the conditions given in Part 1? (Express your answer in pounds.)
