Question

Transcribed Image Text:4. A 10 kg block on a level surface is pushed by a 50 N force directed 30 degrees below the horizontal
(like this: ). The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.60 and the
coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40.
a. Does the block slide or stay put? Justify your answer with a calculation.
b. If it slides, calculate its acceleration. If it stays put, calculate the friction force acting on the block. Show
your work.

- Please include a diagram.arrow_forwardA person pushes a box along the ground. The box has the force diagram shown below. Examine the force diagram to answer the following questions: a. Is the box in equilibrium? If so explain how you can tell. If not, explain why not. b. If the person wants the box to move at constant velocity, should they adjust their pushing on the block? If so, explain how they should change their push. If not, explain why they should change nothing about their pusharrow_forwardPlease do A-C, Thank you!arrow_forward
- A 1500-kg barge is being towed by means of two horizontal cables. One cable is pulling with a force of 90.0 N in a direction 25.0° west of north. Assume that the water exerts no appreciable frictional drag on the barge. Determine the following, showing all your steps clearly: a. In what direction should the second cable pull so that the barge will accelerate northward, if the force exerted by the cable is 130 N? Give your answer as an angle relative to north and state which direction (east of north or west of north). b. What is the acceleration that the barge moves north with? c. How far does it move in the first 15 seconds?arrow_forwardFollow the instructions. Typewritten for an upvote. No upvote for handwritten. PLEASE SKIP IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS.
