You need to move a cubic crate across a rough floor. You pull the crate horizontally using a rope with force F, as shown in Figure 1. The weight of the crate is 700 lb:, its density is 180 lbm/fts, and the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.57. Write an expression for the maximum static friction force fmax (in lb:) as a function of the mass m of the crate. Use Excel to plot fmax(m). Calculate the average pressure of the crate on the floor, in psi. Calculate the minimum force F necessary for the crate to start moving, in lb;. F Figure 1. Moving a crate on a slope.

Determine the mass of the lightest crate P (in kilograms) that can be used to support this non uniform bar in the position shown in Figure 3.

Consider the situation shown where a 15-kg box is to be held on a steep vertical slope by a cord that can withstand 80 N. Will the box be held or will the cord snap (i.e. exceed 80 N)? The coefficient of static friction between the box and slope is 0.3. Note: more sophisticated methods exist but do a simple analysis using statics alone and a little reasoning. 60
250 kg concrete wheel with a radius of 1.50 m is being pulled up a hill by a 725 kg cow, with a rope attached to the wheel and the cow. There is a 35.5 cm tall rock protruding out of the hill. Calculate the tension in the rope when the barrel is just starting to lift off of the hill to go over the protruding rock? What's the minimum coefficient of static friction between the cow and the hill for the cow to be able to pull the barrel over the rock?
