Problem 1: While training on the planet Dagobah, Luke Skywalker is asked by Yoda to hold a block with a mass of 6.80kg against a vertical wall using only the Force. Luke applies the Force with a magnitude of 115.0N at an angle of 52.0° with respect to the horizontal. Luke discovers that if the Force increases any more, the block begins to slide up the wall. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall? Assume that gravity on Dagobah is the same as gravity on Earth.

You are given the job of moving a refrigerator with a mass of 1.8 x 102 kg across a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.45. Calculate the magnitude of the minimum force that is required just to set the refrigerator into motion.
Two roofers are installing a new roof. Bob is sitting on the top of the roof that is angled at 23.5 degrees from the horizontal. Nate is sitting 4.1 m further down the roof. In order to get a box of shingles to Nate, Bob just slides the box directly down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction for the box and roof is 0.5, then with what speed should Bob initially push the box so that it slides to a stop right as it reaches the Nate?

A block is pressed against a vertical wall by a force F, as the drawing shows. This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The magnitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.260. The weight of the block is 47.0 N, and the directional angle for the force F is 0 = 48.0°. Determine the magnitude of F when the block slides (a) up the wall and (b) down the wall. (a) P = (b) P= i i P >
