Question
A large crate with mass mm rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the floor are μsμs and μkμk, respectively. A woman pushes downward on the crate at an angle θθ below the horizontal with a force F⃗ F→.
1. What is the magnitude of the force vector F⃗ F→ required to keep the crate moving at constant velocity?
Express your answer in terms of mmm, ggg, θθ, and μkμk.

- Many physical properties, such as force and mass, cannot be measured directly. Rather, some other physical property is measured and the desired physical property is computed from the results. For example, a bathroom scale does not actually measure mass or "weight," but rather the compression distance of a spring. The numerical values on the scale are calibrated from the compression distance using basic physics principles such as Newton's second law. Coefficients of friction cannot be measured directly. In this problem, we are going to learn how we can indirectly measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between two surfaces by directly measuring the expansion of a spring. Consider a 5.45 kg5.45 kg block that is dragged by a spring on a (relatively) frictionless horizontal surface at constant velocity.

It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center. Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.
