Question
bonnie and clyde are sliding a 285 kg bank safe across the floor to their getaway car...the safe slides with a constant speed if clyde pushes from behind with 375 N of force while bonnie pulls forward on a rope with 335 N of force...what is the safe's coefficient of kinetic friction on the bank floor?

A tow truck pulls on the car with the arrangement shown in Figure P5.24. The tow cable is under a tension of 2500 N and pulls downward and to the left on the pin at its upper end. The light pin is held in equilibrium by forces exerted by the two bars A and B. Each bar is a strut; that is, each is a bar whose weight is small compared to the forces it exerts and which exerts forces only through hinge pins at its ends. Each strut exerts a force directed parallel to its length. Determine the force of tension or compression in each strut. Proceed as follows. Make a guess as to which way (pushing or pulling) each force acts on the top pin. Draw a free-body diagram of the pin. Use the condition for equilibrium of the pin to translate the free-body diagram into equations. From the equations calculate the forces exerted by struts A and B. If you obtain a positive answer, you correctly guessed the direction of the force. A negative answer means that the direction…arrow_forwardA tractor is speeding up at 3 m/s/s while pulling a 744 kg sled with a rope at an angle of 34 degrees.
