Chapter 4, Problem 50P
A person pushes a 14.0-kg lawn mower at constant speed with a force of F = 88.0 N directed along the handle, which is at an angle of 45.0° to the horizontal (Fig. 4-58) (a) Draw the free-body diagram showing all forces acting on the mower. Calculate (b) the horizontal friction force on the mower, then (c) the normal force exerted vertically upward on the mower by the ground (d) What force must the person exert on the lawn mower to accelerate it from rest to 1.5 m/s in 2.5 seconds, assuming the same friction force?

Three mountain climbers who are roped together in a line
are ascending an icefield inclined at 31.0° to the horizontal
(Fig. 4-69). The last climber slips, pulling the second
climber off his feet. The first climber is able to hold them
both. If each climber has a mass of 75 kg, calculate the ten-
sion in each of the two sections of rope between the three
climbers. Ignore friction between the ice and the fallen
climbers.

FIGURE 4-69 Problem 83.
The 70.0-kg climber in Fig. 4-72 is supported in the
“chimney" by the friction forces exerted on his shoes and
back. The static coefficients of friction between his shoes
and the wall, and between his
back and the wall, are 0.80 and
0.60, respectively. What is the
minimum normal force he must
exert? Assume the walls are ver-
tical and that the static friction
forces are both at their maximum.
Ignore his grip on the rope.
