Chapter 5, Problem 60P

You try to move a heavy trunk, pushing down and forward at an angle of 50° below the horizontal. Show that, no matter how hard you push, it’s impossible to budge the trunk if the coefficient of static friction exceeds 0.84.

A coffee cup on the horizontal dashboard of a car slides forward when the driver decelerates from 45 km/h to rest in 3.5 s or less, but not if she decelerates in a longer time.What is the coefficient of static friction between the cup and the dash? Assume the road and the dashboard are level (horizontal).
Piles of snow on slippery roofs can become dangerous projectiles as they melt. Consider a chunk of snow at the ridge of a roof with a slope of 34°. (a) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction that will keep the snow from sliding down? (b) As the snow begins to melt, the coefficient of static friction decreases and the snow finally slips. Assuming that the distance from the chunk to the edge of the roof is 4.0 m and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10, calculate the speed of the snow chunk when it slides off the roof. (c) If the roof edge is 10.0 m above ground, estimate the speed of the snow when it hits the ground.
