The 80 kg man pushes on the 120 kg crate with a horizontal force F. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the crate and the surface are Us = 0.3 and Uk = 0.2. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the man and the surface are Us = 0.8 and Uk = 0.5.
a. Calculate the normal force generated by the surface on the man and the crate.
b. Using the information from part a, prove that the man will be able to move the crate
c. what is the greatest acceleration the man can give the crate?
Suppose an empty flatbed railroad car sits on a track as shown below, with a person pulling on a rope with a force of 280 Newtons in a direction
of 0 = 25°.
廿
railroad car
Since the railroad car can't move in the direction that the person is pulling, not all of the force he is exerting works to move the car down the
track.
a. How much force is the person exerting toward the right (the force that would go towards trying to move the car)?
Newtons
Preview
b. The first person wasn't able to move the railroad car. Suppose a second rope is attached as shown below, and someone pulls on the rope in
the direction B = 21° south of east.
II
railroad car
If it takes 615 N to get the railroad car moving (even if only slightly), how much force must the second person exert in the given direction
to get the railroad car to move?
Newtons
