- The 480-N force is applied to the 90-kg block, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force F exerted by the horizontal surface on the block. The force is positive if to the right, negative if to the leftarrow_forwardMass 2 has a hole bored through it and the cord is threadedthrough the hole but is not touching mass 2. The cord isattached to mass 3 which is pushing mass 2. What is theforce between the masses on the frictionless surface?arrow_forwardA skier starts from rest on the 39° slope at time t = 0 and is clocked at t = 2.60 s as he passes a speed checkpoint 20 m down the slope.

Determine the maximum incline e [degrees] that the car can drive up if it has rear-wheel drive. 0.85 m (1.2 m 1.7 marrow_forward1.The figure shows 3 blocks. Block C hangs from a rope which passes through a fixed cylinder and is attached to block B. Find the maximum mass of block C so that block B does not move to the right. Take into account that there are frictional forces at all points of contact. Consider the given values of the masses and , the coefficient of static friction between surfaces µ1 and the coefficient of friction static between the cylinder and the uC chord. Here are the values: ma= 72 kg mb= 62 kg u1= 0,47 uC=0,37arrow_forwardThis climber (mass=52kg) is maintaining this posture while grabbing onto a rock at P3 and reaching for the wall with her right hand (no contact of wall and right hand). The rock at P1 applies a force of 187.4 N at an angle of 140.2 deg from the positive x axis on her right foot at P1. The rock at P2 and the climber's pants have a coefficient of static friction of 0.78 and the y component of the force of the rock on her pants is 144.0 N upward. The rocks at P1 and P2 are vertical surfaces. The friction forces acting at P1 and P2 are as large as friction will allow. Analyze the forces in the frontal plane as shown and show mechanical rationale for each question. a) What is the net interaction of the her left hand on the rock at P3? b) Which surface (P1 or P2) has a lower coefficient of static friction? If she took off her shoes and tried to hold this position with her socks (coefficient of static friction of her socks and rock is 0.78), will she be able to maintain static equilibrium?
