Chapter 5.8, Problem 5.7QQ
Charlie is playing with his daughter Toney in the snow. She sits on a sled and asks him to slide her across a flat, horizontal field. Charlie has a choice of (a) pushing her from behind by applying a force downward on her shoulders at 30° below the horizontal (Fig. 5.18a) or (b) attaching a rope to the front of the sled and pulling with a force at 30° above the horizontal (Fig. 5.18b). Which would be easier for him and why?

A 1.00 × 103-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force → F of 3.00× 102 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in Figure a. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (b) If the 3.00 × 102-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in Figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).
A student decides to move a box of books into her dormitory room by pulling on a rope attached to the box. She pulls with a force of 130.0 N at an angle of 16.0° above the horizontal. The box has a mass of 25.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between box and floor is 0.300.
(b) The student now starts moving the box up a 10.0° incline, keeping her 130.0 N force directed at 16.0° above the line of the incline. If the coefficient of friction is unchanged, what is the new acceleration of the box?
A 16-year-old employee working for Southern Virginia College's (SVC) bookstore during the
summer months is helping prepare for Fall sales. It's a good way to make extra money, and
the teen is saving for a car.
Books from one supplier are shipped to the SVC bookstore in large crates equipped with
rope handles on all sides. On one occasion, the teen momentarily pulled with a force of
708 N at an angle of 34.2° above the horizontal to accelerate a 114-kg crate of books. The
coefficient of friction between the crates and the vinyl floor is 0.587.
Determine the acceleration experienced by the crate in m/s². Use the approximation g
10 m/s².
Answer:
m/s² (rounded to the hundredths or thousandths place)

There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10^−2.
