Suppose your car was mired deeply in the mud and you wanted to use the method illustrated in Figure 4.37 to pull it out. (a) What force would you have to exert perpendicular to the center of the rope to produce a force of 12,000 N on the car if the angle is 2.00°? In this part, explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. (b) Real ropes stretch under such forces. What force would be exerted on the car if the angle increases to 7.00° and you still apply the force found in part (a) to its center?

- The coefficient of static friction between an 8 kg box at rest and a 35° inclined plane is 0.70. Determines whether the object starts moving or stays in a static state. Justify your answer. If the object starts moving, what happens to the coefficient of friction? Also, describes the movement of the box.arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 3.50 kg is pushed d = 3.00 m along a rough horizontal table by a constant applied force of magnitude F = 10.0 N directed at an angle 60 = 30.0° below the horizontal as shown in the figure below. Draw a free-body diagram that will enable you to solve the problem. Please include the horizontal and vertical components of applied force.arrow_forwardA 1,500-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F of 370 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in the figure a below. F 20.0° / b 20.0° (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.) 0.220 X Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error.arrow_forward

If we set the +x-axis at the right, which of the following statements is true about the forces acting on the block? Explain answer. A. The direction of the frictional force experienced by the block is to the leftB. The normal force’s direction is 30 degrees above the +x-axisC.
