The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.6. What is the magnitude of the static frictional force acting on the crate?
A 30 kg object sits on a table. The coefficient of static friction between the object and the
table is 0.25. What frictional force must you overcome to make the object move?
Two children are pulled on a sled over snow-covered ground. The sled is pulled by a rope that makes
an angle of 35° with the horizontal. The children have a combined mass of 45 kg and the sled has a
mass of 5.0 kg. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are u, = 0.20 and µ, = 0.15.
Calculate the maximum possible force of static friction between the sled and snow.
