- In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the opposite side. Sincosky’s mass was 79 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.70, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky’s grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt.)arrow_forwardA 4.30 kg box is suspended from a system of massless wires attached to a ceiling.

Each hand applies a normal force of equal magnitude to each side of the box. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between their hands and the paper are μS = 0.61 and μK = 0.23, respectively. The box is on the verge of slipping but they just manage to hold it.
