A small box of mass m1m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2m2 and length LL (Figure 1). The board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the board and the box is μsμs μsμs Throughout the problem, use gg for the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration. In the hints, use ff for the magnitude of the friction force between the board and the box. Find Fmin, the constant force with the least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the the box (which will then fall off of the opposite end of the board) Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables μsμs m1m1 m2m2 g L Do not include ff in your answer.
In the figure below, a climber with a weight of 720.6 N is held by a belay rope connected to her climbing harness and belay device; the force of the rope on her has a line of action through her center of mass. The indicated angles are e = 35.5° and o = 29.5°. If her feet are on the verge of sliding on the vertical wall, what is the coefficient of static friction between her climbing shoes and the wall?
Q4.2. A springboard-type diving board is built from high grade aluminum. This particular board has a mass of 65 kg and is 3.85 m long. 33.8 cm wide, and 5 cm thick. (Aside: Most springboards start thick on one end, then get thinner as it moves to the other end. For this problem, assume the springboard has a constant thickness) One end of the springboard is attached to a hinge. The hinge lets the springboard move up and down, but keeps it from sliding out of place. 1.1 m away from the hinge, the springboard rests on (but is not attached to) a fulcrum. A diver with a mass of 65 kg stands on the far end of the springboard (opposite from the hinge), ready to begin their dive. Hinge Fulcrum Note: the measurements for this problem were taken from the springboards used in the 2016 Summer Olympics, 3 m Springboard event.
