A person , sunbathing on a warm day, is lying horizontally onthe deck of a boat. Her mass is 59 kg, and the coefficient of staticfriction between the deck and her is 0.70. Assume that the person ismoving horizontally, and that the static frictional force is the onlyforce acting on her in this direction .
(a) What is the magnitude of the static frictional force when the boat moves with a constant velocity of +8.0 m/s?
(b) The boat speeds up with an acceleration of 1.6 m/s2 and she does not slip with respect to the deck . What is the magnitude of the static frictional force that acts on her?
(c) What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration the boat can have before she begins to slip relative to the deck ?
A large box of mass 11.4 kg sits on a ramp that makes an angle of 30.1 degrees with the horizontal. The surface of the ramp is rough and the
coefficients of static and kinetic friction are given as 0.56 and 0,38, respectively. We exert a force up the ramp (parallel to the ramp surface) so
that the box does not move.
Calculate the maximum and the minimum magnitude of the force we can exert so that the box does not move.
Enter the difference between the maximum and the minimum force values here: Fmax-Fmin (in Newtons). On your paper, show all the forces
on free-body diagrams, clearly show your work, your derivation and calculations. Make sure to include your physics-based reasoning.
(b) The coefficient of kinetic friction between a 40 kg crate and the ware-
house floor is 70% of the corresponding coefficient of static friction.
The crate falls off a forklift that is moving at 3 m/s and then slides
along the warehouse floor for a distance of 2.5 m before coming to
rest. What is the coefficient of static friction between the crate and
the floor?
