Question

Mazie stands on her kitchen floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her socks and the floor is 0.35, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.42. She has a mass of 58 kg. 

b. Mazie slides across the floor at a speed of 1.3 m/s. What is the force of kinetic friction acting on her?

c. Mazie climbs up on the roof of her house, which has an angle of 25°. The coefficient of static friction between her and the roof is 0.35. Will she slip off the roof? Explain your answer.

d. Given that μ s = 0.35, what is the maximum angle the roof could have without her slipping?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Given, 

Mass of Mazie =58 kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction between her socks and the floor =0.35

Coefficient of static friction =0.42

We have to find b,c and d . 

Let's see how we do it :
