Scenario: A chair with a mass of 20.0 kg is attached to one end of a frictionless pulley system via a strong massless rope. The other end of the rope is attached to a steel water tank sitting on a flat horizontal concrete surface (see the image to the right). The coefficient of static friction between steel and concrete is 0.45 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surfaces is 0.30. The water tank, which is full of water, has sprung a leak. The combined mass of the water and the tank is 500 kg. This mass slowly decreases as the water leaks from the hole. You (i.e. my mass is 55.7 KG) are sitting at rest in the seat. You and the seat will remain at rest as long as the force of static friction is strong enough to hold you. Task: LET [DOWN] and [RIGHT] be positive. Using your knowledge of physics, determine the following: 1. As soon as the chair begins to move, static friction between the steel…arrow_forward
