- 5) A box with mass m=1.25 kg rests on the top of a bar. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the bar is μs=0.73 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.39. a) Write an expression for Fm the minimum force required to produce movement of the box on the top of the bar. b) Solve numerically for the magnitude of the force Fm in Newtons. c) Write an expression for a, the box's acceleration, after it begins moving. (Assume the minimum force, Fm, continues to be applied.) d) Solve numerically for the acceleration, a in m/s².arrow_forward2. A block of mass 3.00 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes a 50.0° angle with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.250. Determine the possible values for the magnitude of P that allow the block to remain stationary 50.0° Parrow_forward9) Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 48.2 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 2.62 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.250. Assume static friction has been overcome and that everything can slide. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2?
