Martha is pushing a 35 kg chair across the floor. The coefficients of friction between the chair and floor are ? s = 0.70 and ? k = 0.40.
a. How hard does she need to push horizontally to just start the chair moving?
b. If she applies this same force once it is moving, then what is the resulting acceleration? Draw the free-body diagram for this situation.
Problem 3: You need to push a box across carpet. The box and its contents have a mass of 75 kg. The
coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between the box and the carpet are 0.60 and 0.40,
respectively.
A. You push horizontally on the box with a force of 300 N. Draw a free-body diagram for this
scenario. What is the magnitude of all the individual forces that act on the box?
B. You now push horizontally on the box with constant force of 500 N. Draw a free body diagram
that clearly labels each force. Calculate the magnitude of each individual force that acts on the
box.
C. What is the net force and acceleration for the box while you push with the 500 N?
Matthew wants to push a 12.0 kg chair to his desk. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.45.a. If Matthew pushes the chair with a force of 120 N, determine the acceleration of the chair?b. As Matthew continues to push the chair with a 120 N force, his classmate Luke applies a 45 N force in the opposite direction. What is the acceleration of the chair now?c. Instead, Luke decides to apply a 45 N force downwards. Determine the acceleration of the chair. (Hint: be sure to determine FN first)
