Mary pushes a her sister down a hill in a cardboard box. The total mass of the box and child is 115 kg. The box starts at rest at the beginning of the incline. The hill is at an incline of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal.The static and kinectic friction between the box and hill is ?? = 0.4 and ?? = 0.2.
a. What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the box?b. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the box and child system?c. Will the block slide down the hill, or stay at rest?
Two blocks are connected via a massless frictionless pully system. The hanging block is 3 kg. The other block is on a ramp of 25◦ and has a mass m. The coefficients of friction between the block on the ramp and the ramp are: µs = .8 and µk = .5.
a. What is the minimum mass m that will not slip?
b. If the minimum mass is nudged, it will start being pulled up the incline. What will the acceleration be when that happens?
A 24 kg box is tied to a 14 kg box with a horizontal rope. The coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is 0.32. You pull the larger box forward with a force of 1.8 x 102 N at an angle of 250 above horizontal.
