Question
A potter's wheel—a thick stone disk with a radius of 0.570m and a mass of 118kg—is freely rotating at 41.0rev/min. The potter can stop the wheel in 5.30s by pressing a wet rag against the rim and exerting a radially inward force of 68.1N. Calculate the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheel and the rag.

- John is pushing his daughter Rachel in a wheelbarrow when it is stopped by a brick 8.00 cm high (see the figure below). The handles make an angle of 0 = 20.0° with the ground. Due to the weight of Rachel and the wheelbarrow, a downward force of 407 N is exerted at the center of the wheel, which has a radius of 18.0 cm. Assume the brick remains fixed and does not slide along the ground. Also assume the force applied by John is directed exactly toward the center of the wheel. (Choose the positive x-axis to be pointing to the right.) & (a) What force (in N) must John apply along the handles to just start the wheel over the brick? 1690.53 X Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%.
