A cylinder having a mass of 40kgs with a radius of 0.5m is pushed to the right without rotation and with an acceleration of 2m/s^2. Determine the location of the horizontal force P if the coefficient of friction is 0.30
The engine of the bus applies a torque of 361.5 N · m to a wheel of radius 0.273 m. Since the wheel does not slip, the road must be applying a force of static friction to the wheel that produces a counter-torque. Moreover, the bus has a constant velocity, so this counter-torque balances the applied torque. What is the magnitude of the static frictional force?

Two big bugs, Buzz and Crunchy each of mass 0.65 kg, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 4.6 m and it rotates once every 1.2 s. What is the magnitude of the net force on Buzz, in Newtons? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
