Question
(a) If the horizontal acceleration produced briefly by an
earthquake is a, and if an object is going to "hold its place"
on the ground, show that the coefficient of static friction
with the ground must be at least us = a/g. (b) The famous
Loma Prieta earthquake that stopped the 1989 World
Series produced ground accelerations of up to 4.0 m/s² in
the San Francisco Bay Area. Would a chair have started
to slide on a floor with coefficient of static friction 0.25?
