Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1P
To determine
To Explain:Some of the objects might stay stationary on the floor while others might slip backward on the floor.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Static frictional force: The object remains at rest till the applied force on the object equals the static frictional force. It is self-adjusting force and varies from
Kinetic frictional force: It is less than the maximum static frictional force. When the applied force is greater than the static frictional force, the object moves, then the kinetic friction acts.
Static friction and kinetic friction play role in objects to slip. If the static friction is large, the object does not slip. If the applied force is large, the coefficient of static friction should be large to prevent object from slipping.

On the ride “Spindletop” at the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow vertical cylinder with radius 2.5 m. The cylinder started to rotate, and when it reached a constant rotation rate of 0.60 rev/s, the floor dropped about 0.5 m. The people remained pinned against the wall without touching the floor. (a) Draw a force diagram for a person on this ride after the floor has dropped. (b) What minimum coefficient of static friction was required for the person not to slide downward to the new position of the floor? (c) Does your answer in part (b) depend on the person’s mass? (Note: When such a ride is over, the cylinder is slowly brought to rest. As it slows down, people slide down the wall to the floor.)
The 4-Mg bus A is traveling to the right at 30 m/s. Meanwhile a 1-Mg car B is traveling
at 20 m/s to the left. If vehicles crash and become entangled, determine the distance the vehicles
will slide before they stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between vehicles' tire and the road
is μι-0.7.
VA = 30 m/s
Vg = 20 m/s
