A 15-pound box sits at rest on a horizontal surface, and there is friction between the box and the surface. One side of the surface is raised slowly to create a ramp. The friction force f opposes the direction of motion and is proportional to the normal force F exerted by the surface on the box. The proportionality constant is called the coefficient of friction, u. When the angle of the ramp. 0, reaches 25°, the box begins to slide. Find the value of u 15 pounds The value of u is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)
A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The book has a mass of m = 1.7 kg and the coefficient of static friction between her hand and the book is μs = 0.53. What is the weight of the book, Fgb in Newtons? What is the minimum force she must apply with each of her hands, Fmin in Newtons, to keep the book from falling?
A book of mass 9 kg rests on a plank. You tilt one end of the plank and slowly increase the angle of the tilt. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the plank is 0.48. What is the maximum angle of tilt for which the book will remain stationary and not slide down the plank?
It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 44° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 70 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 71 N. Part A What answer will you give? ΠΙ ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer ?
A force F acts to the right on a 6.4 kg block. A 3.43 kg block is stacked on top of the 6.4 kg block and can slide on it with a coefficient of 1. 40.72541 2. 22.0506 friction of u1 =0.2 between the blocks. Both pulleys are massless and frictionless. The string is also massless. Note the axle of the upper pulley is free to move so it will accelerate to the left as the 6.4 kg block accelerates to the right. Think carefully about the magnitude of that axle's acceleration. The axle of the lower pulley is fixed at the position shown. The table has a coefficient of friction of 3. 49.393639 O 4. 56.648308 5. 39.322021 O 6. 31.94706 O 7, 42.29855 H2 =0.19.

Two workers are sliding 390 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 450 NN while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 290 NN using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?
You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 24°. You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.2 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.0 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.50, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?
A roller-coaster car is towed up an incline at a steady speed of 0.500 m/s by a chain parallel to the surface of the incline. The slope is 3.00%, which means that the elevation increases by 3.00 m for every 100.0 m of horizontal distance. The mass of the roller-coaster car is 594 kg. Ignoring friction, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the car by the chain?
as a fish jump vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. a force chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 48.5 kg. if the fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 5.80 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine the following. a. the salmon's acceleration b. the magnitude of the force F during this interval
A block of mass 1.45 kg is resting on a board with friction.The board is inclined until the mass just starts to slide. If the angle of the incline when the mass just barely begins to slide is 17.5 degrees,what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the board?
The horizontal surface on which the objects slide is frictionless. If F = 6.0 N and M = 1.0 kg, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large block by the small block?
A warehouse worker exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude 86.0 N on a 40.0 kg box that is initially at rest on the horizontal floor of the warehouse. When the box has moved a distance of 1.60 m, its speed is 1.00 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor?
