A horizontal force F pushes against a block of mass m. The mass m in turn pushes against a bigger block of mass M. There isn't friction any between the larger block and the table, but there is friction in between the blocks (coef. of static friction is μs). What's the smallest force F that will hold the smaller mass m m against the larger mass M without letting the smaller mass m fall down?

- You find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..arrow_forwardWith FBD Solution and Formulaarrow_forwardConsider the 52.0-kg mountain climber as shown.

Calculate the normal reaction force on each leg at the contact point with the floor when the man is 0.5 m from the far end of the sawhorse. (Hint: At each end, find the total reaction force first.
