A Smart Fortwo® car has a mass of 730 kg, which we assume on a flat surface is evenly
distributed over its four tires. What is the maximum value of static friction on one tire if
the coefficient of static friction between the tire and the road is 0.85? Note: In Iceland,
though Smart cars are popular, there are special warnings about where to park them
because the local winds can be strong enough to move the cars if they are not sheltered.
You are working as a letter sorter in a U.S Post Office. Postalregulations require that employees’ footwear must havea minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specifiedtile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for whichyou do not know the coefficient of static friction. In orderto determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is anemergency and start running across the room. You have acoworker time you, and find that you can begin at rest andmove 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to move faster than this,your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, doesyour footwear qualify for the postal regulation?
Two boxes (Box A = 9.7 kg and Box B = 5.4 kg) are connected by acord running over a pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction betweenbox A and the table is 0.18. We ignore the mass of the cord and pulleyand any friction in the pulley, which means we can assume that a forceapplied to one end of the cord will have the same magnitude at theother end. We wish to find the tension of the cord while accelerating (inN), assuming the cord doesn’t stretch. As box B moves down, box Amoves to the right. Hint: Solve for the acceleration of the system first.
