Question
Two boxes of fruit on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a light string as in Figure P4.65, where m1 = 10 kg and m2 = 20 kg. A force of 50 N is applied to the 20-kg box.
(a) Determine the acceleration of each box and the tension in the string.
(b) Repeat the problem for the case where the coefficient of kinetic friction between each box and the surface is 0.10.

The coefficients of friction between the floor and box are µs = 0.75 and uk = 0.40. What is the minimum pushing force (magnitude only) needed to move the box, in Newtons? Useg = 10 m/s². Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardIn a movie, a stuntman places himself on the vertical front of a truck as the truck accelerates. The coefficient of static friction between the stuntman and the truck is 0.370. The stuntman is not standing on anything but can “stick” to the front of the truck as long as the truck continues to accelerate.

- A box, initially at rest, is pushed up a ramp that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal as shown in the diagram. The magnitude of the pushing force is 8m newtons, where m is the mass of the box in kilograms. The force is in a direction parallel to and up the ramp. The coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the ramp is 0.25. Model the box as a particle and take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 m s−2 . Express the four forces in component form in terms of unknown magnitudes where appropriate and find an expression for the resultant force acting on the box. Hence find the magnitude of the acceleration of the box, in m s−2arrow_forwardA box with mass 32.5 kg rests on a frozen pond, which serves as a frictionless horizontal surface.
