A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mA = 405 kg
and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure below). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is
H=0.348, and the mass of the hiker is ma= 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the
hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope
passes over the ledge is frictionless. (ANS: 70.8 kg)
You want to use a rope to pull a 12 kg box of books up a plane inclined 30 degrees above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.28.The rope pulls parallel to the incline. What force do you need to exert on the rope if you want to pull the box with a constant acceleration of 0.50 m/s squared yp the plane?
