Ross and Rachel are fighting if they were on a break. Ross
is trying to get his stuff weighing 150. N placed on an
inclined plane by pulling it upwards parallel to the inclined
plane with 150. N force. However, Rachel is trying to stop
Ross by exerting 50.0 N perpendicular to the inclined
plane. The coefficients of friction between the box and the
incline are us= 0.450 and = 0.350.

A heavy cask (full of wine!) sits on an inclined plane. It is held in place by a rope that is attached to the cask and to a hook further up the inclined plane (at A). The rope comes off of the cask tangent to the cask. The mass of the cask is 40 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the inclined plane and the cask is 0.25. What is the maximum value of θ just before the cask begins to slip? Also, what is the tension in the rope when slipping is impending? Finally, if the inclined plane became icy, and the rope didn’t break as the cask slipped, what would be remarkable about the lines of action of the W, N and T force vectors once equilibrium was re-established?
body resting on a rough horizontal plane requires a pull of 300 N
inclined at 40º to the horizontal plane just to move it. It is found that a
push of 150 N inclined at 40o
to the x-axis can also make the body to
move. Determine the weight of the body and the coefficient of friction.
