Get started for freeA toy chest and its contents have a combined weight of A toy chest and its contents have a combined weight of .The child in Fig. 6-35 attempts to move the chest across the floor by pulling on an attached rope. (a) If is whatis the magnitude of the force that the child must exert on the rope to put the chest on the verge ofmoving? (b) Write an expression for the magnituderequired to put the chest on the verge of moving as a function of the angle . Determine (c) the value of for which is a minimum and (d) that minimum magnitude.
In Fig. 6-13, horizontal forceof magnitude 10N is applied to a box on a floor, but the box does not slide. Then, as the magnitude of vertical forceis increased from zero, do the following quantities increase, decrease, or stay the same: (a) the magnitude of the frictional forceon the box; (b) the magnitude of the normal force on the box from the floor; (c) the maximum valueof the magnitude of the static frictional force on the box? (d) Does the box eventually slide?
In Fig. 6-61 a fastidious worker pushes directly along the handle of a mop with a force. The handle is at an anglewith the vertical, andandare the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the head of the mop and the floor. Ignore the mass of the handle and assume that all the mopโs mass mis in its head. (a) If the mop head moves along the floor with a constant velocity, then what is F? (b) Show that if.is less than a certain value, then(still directed along the handle) is unable to move the mop head. Find.
A block is pushed along a floor by a constant applied force that is horizontal and has a magnitude of . Figure 6-30 gives the blockโs speed versus time as the block moves along an axis on the floor. The scale of the figureโs vertical axis is set by . What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor
