A car drives onto a section of the road which is covered in ice. The driver attempts to stop by
hitting the brakes but the wheels lock and the car skids for another 60 m. Determine the
coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the ice if the initial speed of the car was
40 km/hr.
A 50 kg box is pushed with a force of 200 N along a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the surface is 0.3, calculate the acceleration of the box.
(Note: The gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be 9.8 m/s² unless stated otherwise.)
In Fig. 6-23, a sled is held on an inclined plane by a cord pulling directly up the plane. The sled is to be on the verge of moving up the plane. In Fig. 6- 28, the magnitude F required of the cord’s force on the sled is plotted versus a range of values for the coefficient of static friction ms between sled and plane: F1 = 2.0 N, F2 = 5.0 N, and m2 = 0.50. At what angle u is the plane inclined?
