A block is resting on a wooden plank. There is a hinge on one end of the plank which allows the other end to be lifted to create an angle, θ, with respect to the horizontal as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank is μs. If a student measures that the block begins to move at an angle of θ = 20.5°, what is the numerical value of the coefficient of static friction, μs?
Problems 1. Three forces act on particle A located at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. Force B acts at 140° from the positive x-axis, and force C acts at 15° from the positive x-axis. The weight acts down with a magnitude of W = 100 kN. Use the equations of equilibrium to determine the magnitudes of B and C such that particle A is in equilibrium. For problems 2-5, consider the following scenario. Equilibrium of a particle: EF=0 XFx=0 and ΣFy=0. Dimensions are: h = 2.5 ft, d₁ = 4.75 ft, and d₂ = 3 ft. Give numeric answers to three significant figures. The load W = 50 lb. d₁ dz A h α W B
In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot t one side or the other. Two students pull with force 198 N each to the right, four students pull with force 94 N each to the left, five students pull with force 60 N each to the left, three students pull with force 160 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 260 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the right, express the net pull on the knot (in N) in terms of the unit vector i. N Fnet = How big is the net pull on the knot (in N)? (Enter the magnitude.) N What direction is the net pull on the knot? O to the right O to the left O The magnitude is zero. Additional Materials Reading

An another object is in the outer space. Only three forces are acting on it. One has the magnitude of 9 N. The second one is perpendicular to the first one and has the magnitude of 12 N. Find the magnitude of the third force, if the object is in equilibrium. Draw the picture that shows all the forces. Needs Complete typed solution with 100 % accuracy.
A block having a mass of m = 13 kg is suspended via two cables as shown in the figure. The angles shown in the figure are as follows: α = 14° and β = 32°. We will label the tension in Cable 1 as T1 and the tension in Cable 2 as T2. a) Write an expression for the sum of forces in the x direction in terms of T1, T2, m, g, α, and β. Use the specified coordinate system. b) Write an expression for the sum of forces in the y direction in terms of T1, T2, m, g, α, and β. Use the specified coordinate system.
Timmy and Billy are using a ramp to load furniture into a truck. While rolling a 220-pound piano up the ramp, they discover that the truck is too full with other furniture for the piano to fit. Billy holds the piano in place on the ramp while Timmy repositions other items to make room for it in the truck. If the angle of inclination of the ramp is 25°, how many pounds of force must Billy exert to hold the piano in position? Billy must exert pounds of force. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.) 25° 220 lb
A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling? Your answer: The normal force will increase when he pulls. The normal force will decrease when he pulls. The normal force will stay the same.
A mountain climber practices his technique in a mountain climbing school by balancing while suspended by two ropes attached to the ceiling. As shown by the figure, the left rope makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal ceiling and the right rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal ceiling. If the right rope has tension T1=322 N, what is the weight of the mountain climber?
Two forces are exerted on an object: a force A with an x-component of 9.00[N] and a y-component of -2.40[N], and a force B with an x-component of -13.30[N] and a y-component of 23.60[N]. Assuming these are the only two forces on the object, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object? Express your answer in N.
A block with a mass of m = 46 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F1 = 10.5 N. The second has a magnitude of F2 = 23.5 N and acts on the body at an angle θ = 23° measured from horizontal, as shown. a) Write an expression for the component of net force, Fnet,x, in the x-direction, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. b)Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN, acting on the block, in terms of F2 and the other variables of the problem.

As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a force ₁ of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 0 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force ₁ + F2. magnitude direction F₂ F₁ i units ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
