Answer to Problem 74P

The static friction does not hold the safe in the place without sliding back down since the value of static frictional force is less than the net downward force.

Explanation of Solution

Figure 1 represents x and y components of the weight W.

COLLEGE PHYSICS-CONNECT ACCESS, Chapter 2, Problem 74P , additional homework tip  1

Figure 2 represents the free body diagram of the safe in which the forces are represented by their respective x and y components with sign.

COLLEGE PHYSICS-CONNECT ACCESS, Chapter 2, Problem 74P , additional homework tip  2

Write the expression for component of force of gravity acting on the safe.

    Wx=mgsinθ        (I)

Here, Wx is the component of force of gravity acting on the safe, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Even after the mover stops pushing the block the safe still moves upwards, this motion has kinetic frictional force involved.

Write the expression for kinetic frictional force when the block moves upwards even after stop pushing the block.

    fk=μkmgcosθ        (II)

Here, fk is the kinetic frictional force, μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Write the expression for net downward force acting on the ramp.

    fnet=Wx+fk        (III)

Here, fnet is the net downward force acting on the ramp.

Write the expression for static frictional force acting on the safe.

    fs=μsmgcosθ

Here, fs is the static frictional force, and μs is the coefficient of static friction.

Conclusion:

Substitute 510kg for m, 9.8m/s2 for g, and 15° for θ in equation (I), to find Wx.

    Wx=(510kg)(9.8m/s2)sin(15°)=1294N

Substitute 510kg for m, 9.8m/s2 for g, 0.33 for μk and 15° for θ in equation (II), to find fk.

    fk=(0.33)(510kg)(9.8m/s2)cos(15°)=1593N

Substitute 1294N for Wx, and 1593N for fk in equation (III), to find fnet.

    fnet=1294N+1593N=2887N

Substitute 510kg for m, 9.8m/s2 for g, 0.42 for μs and 15° for θ in equation (IV), to find fs.

    fs=(0.42)(510kg)(9.8m/s2)cos15°=2027N

Therefore, the static friction does not hold the safe in the place without sliding back down since the value of static frictional force is less than the net downward force.

Answer to Problem 74P

The minimum force required to hold the safe in place is 860N_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for minimum force required to hold the safe in place.

    fmin=fnetfs        (V)

Here, fmin is the minimum force required to hold the safe in place.

Conclusion:

Substitute 2887N for fnet, and 2027N for fs in equation (V), to find fmin.

    fmin=2887N2027N=860N

Therefore, the minimum force required to hold the safe in place is 860N_.
