Chapter 4, Problem 15CQ
Walking without slipping requires a static friction force between your feet (or footwear) and the floor. As described in this chapter, the force on your foot as you push off the floor is forward while the force exerted by your foot on the floor is backward. But what about your other foot, the one moved during a stride? What is the direction of the force on that foot as it comes into contact with the floor? Explain.

The crate, which has a mass of 100 kg, is subjected to the action of the two forces. If it is originally at
rest, determine the distance it slides in order to attain a speed of 6 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between the crate and the surface is ue = 0.2.

- Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.arrow_forwardTwo forces act on a 4.5-kg block resting on a frictionless surface.

When the blocks are released from rest, the 25 kg block on the 67° incline slides down the incline, pulling the 32 kg block on the 24° incline up its incline.
