Suppose there is a box of books with a mass of 10 kg resting on a flat horizontal table, and that the coefficient of static friction between the wooden table and the cardboard box is 0.3.
What is the total force on the box as
sits on the table at rest?
At a minimum, how much force do you have to apply to lift the box off the table vertically?
At a minimum, how much force do you have to apply to shift the box horizontally across the table?
If someone lifts one side of the table so that its surface is not level, what angle would it be at when the box starts to slide off?
Explain your answers.
Suppose you put your book bag on the table and want to move it out of the way so you can set up your laptop computer. You push on the bag and it will not budge (The physics book is too big!). If the bag's mass is 18 and the coefficient of friction with the table is 0.74, with what force or more will you have to push to make it move? Give your answer in newtons (N).
A horizontal force of 25 N is required to push a wagon across a sidewalk at a constant speed.
What is the net (unbalanced) force acting on the wagon?
What is the value of the force of friction acting on the wagon?
If the force on the wagon increased to 30 N, use Newton's law to explain what the effect would be.
