Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 17P

(II) Piles of snow on slippery roofs can become dangerous projectiles as they melt. Consider a chunk of snow at the ridge of a roof with a slope of 34°. (a) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction that will keep the snow from sliding down? (b) As the snow begins to melt the coefficient of static friction decreases and the snow finally slips. Assuming that the distance from the chunk to the edge of the roof is 6.0 m and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20, calculate the speed of the snow chunk when it slides off the roof. (c) If the edge of the roof is 10.0 m above ground estimate the speed of the snow when it hits the ground.

(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?

A car traveling at 60 mph (97,000 m/hr) can stop in 48 m on a level road. Determine the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road. Assume that the car starts skidding the moment the driver hits the brakes.

An 8 kg block rests on a horizontal surface whose coefficients of friction are: s = 0.4 and k = 0.2. The maximum force that can be applied to the block so that it does not move is?
