In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the other side (see the figure). Sincosky's mass was 83.0 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.710, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky's grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt.)

The figure below shows a block weighing 22 N in contact with a vertical wall. Two forces are applied to the block, in addition to gravity, a horizontal force F of magnitude 60 N which pushes the block against a vertical wall and a force P of magnitude 62 N which pushes upward on the bottom of the block parallel to the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the block is 0.55 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between them is 0.38. Is the frictional force acting on the block static or kinetic, what is its magnitude and in what direction does it point? F P
A horizontal force F pushes against a block of mass m. The mass m in turn pushes against a bigger block of mass M. There isn't friction any between the larger block and the table, but there is friction in between the blocks (coef. of static friction is μs). What's the smallest force F that will hold the smaller mass m m against the larger mass M without letting the smaller mass m fall down?
