An object with a mass of m placed on an oblique surface at an angle. We applied a horizontal force f = mg on the particle as shown.
Assume that the friction force between the object and the surface is so large that the object remains in place?
Find the vertical force FN and the friction force ff ?
In terms of the static friction coefficient, what is the range of the angle at which the object remains stagnant?
Consider the figure shown below. Block A is connected to block B
using a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. The coefficient
of static friction between the surface of the table and block A is
0.60. The mass of block B is not enough to move block A.
Consider the mass A = 5 kg. find;
