- One straightforward way to measure the coefficients of friction between a box and a wooden surface is illustrated in (Figure 1). The sheet of wood can be raised by pivoting it about one edge. It is first raised to an angle θ1 (which is measured) for which the box just begins to slide downward. The sheet is then immediately lowered to an angle θ2 (which is also measured) for which the box slides with constant speed down the sheet. Part A) Apply Newton’s second law to the box to find the coefficient of static friction between it and the wooden sheet. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables θ1 and θ2. Part B) Apply Newton’s second law to the box to find the coefficient of kinetic friction between it and the wooden sheet. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables θ1 and θ2.arrow_forwardBlock B in (Figure 1) rests on a surface for which the static and kinetic coefficients of friction are 0.58 and 0.40, respectively. The ropes are massless. What is the maximum mass of block A for which the system remains in static equilibrium? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardA block of mass m=8.5 kg is pushed up on a frictionless inclined plane by a horizontal force F as shown in the figure below. If the angle of inclination is θ=10o and the block accelerates up with anacceleration of 1.6 m/s2 determine the magnitude of F. Take g=9.81 m/s2 and express your answer in units of Newtons using zero decimal places.arrow_forward
- he FBD of the block should have looked like this. 1. A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a block of ice of mass m across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and ice is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk. θ is the angle the force makes with the x-axis. In this part, we are going to set-up Newton's second Law equations for the cases(1) when the ice block just starts moving, and(2) when it is accelerating to the right with an acceleration a. All answers are symbolic. ALL ANSWERS ARE CASE-SENSITIVE. Subpart 1: Newton's Second Law along the y-axis (i) Write Newton's Second Law along the y-axis by adding all forces in the y-direction taking into account their signs (forces pointing upwards are positive and downward are negative) in terms of the normal force N, weight mg, F and θ. In both scenarios, there is no acceleration along the y-direction, therefore, ay=0.…arrow_forwardFigure 1arrow_forwardA block is sliding UP an incline because someone gave it a push a moment ago.
