Question
20 of 20 < > - /5 View Policies Current Attempt in Progress In the figure, a rectangular slab of slate rests on a bedrock surface inclined at angle 0 = 22.6°. The slab has length L = 38.7 m, thickness T = 6.61 m, and width W = 13.7 m, and 1.0 cm³ of it has a mass of 3.2 %3D %3D g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.356. (a) Calculate the component of the gravitational force on the slab parallel to the bedrock surface. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the static frictional force on the slab. By comparing (a) and (b), you can see that the slab is in danger of sliding. This is prevented only by chance protrusions of bedrock. (c) To stabilize the slab, bolts are to be driven perpendicular to the bedrock surface (two bolts are shown). If each bolt has a cross-sectional area of 7.44 cm2 and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.14 x 108 N/m2, what is the minimum number of bolts needed? Assume that the bolts do not affect the normal force. II
