A 600-lb safe rolls on four 2-in.-diameter steel wheels. The wheels rotate on 1/4 in.-diameter axles. If the coefficient of friction between the wheel and the axle is 0.45, determine the force necessary to push the safe and the ratio of the rolling friction to the axle friction.
FILL IN THE BLANKS. A block of mass m is placed on a rough surface inclined relative to the horizontal. The incline angle is increased until the block start to move. Show that you can obtain the coefficient of static friction μs by measuring the critical angle θ where slipping occurs.
