Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 70E
Historically, replacing dirt roads with paved roads reduced rolling friction between vehicles and the road surface. Replacing paved roads with steel rails reduced friction further. What will be the next step in reducing friction between vehicles and the surfaces over which they move? What friction will remain after surface friction has been eliminated?

The coefficient of the static friction between the 100-lb box and the inclined surface is 0.10. The coefficient of the static friction between the rope and the fixed cylinder is 0.05. Determine the force the woman must exert on the rope to cause the box to start moving up the inclined surface. What is the minimum force the woman must exert on the rope to hold the box in equilibrium on the inclined surface?
