In the figure, a rectangular slab of slate rests on a bedrock surface inclined at angle = 28.1°. The slab has length L = 46.3 m, thickness T = 5.67 m, and width W = 12.9 m, and 1.0 cm³ of it has a mass of 3.2 g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.387. (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 6.20 cm² and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.29 x 108 N/m², what is the minimum number of bolts needed? Assume that the bolts do not affect the normal force.

The accompanying figure shows a frictionless channel in the shape of a segment of a circle with center at "O". The channel has been anchored to a frictionless horizontal tabletop. You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r." Consider the following distinct forces: A downward force of gravity. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O. A force in the direction of motion. A force pointing from O to q. Which of the above forces is (are) acting on the ball when it is within the frictionless channel at position "q"?
