If an object is to rest on an incline without slipping, then friction must equal the component of the weight of the object parallel to the incline. This requires greater and greater friction for steeper slopes. Show that the maximum angle of an incline above the horizontal for which an object will not slide down is

- A box is placed at one end of a 2.00-m plank. That end of the plank is slowly raised until the box begins to slide. How much time does it take the box to slide to the other (bottom) end of the plank? The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the plank are, respectively, μs=0.400 and μk=0.200.arrow_forwardA man weighing 400N climbs up a ladder 5 meters long.

- 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. Solution Just before slipping, we say that the block is still at rest, so the net force on the x-axis is: ΣFx=mg-f= Evaluating, we get: f = mg But the frictional force is expressed as the product of coefficient and the normal force so. μs = mg For an inclined plane. The normal force is n=mg Then, μs=mg/cos(θ) so: μs=tan(θ)arrow_forwardA block of mass M = 10 kg is sitting on a surface inclined at angle θ = 45°.

- Problem: A block is resting on a ramp as shown in the figure below. You can change the inclination angle θ by raising one end of the ramp. The block has a mass mb=6.5 kg. At the interface between the ramp and the block, the coefficient of static friction is μs=0.4, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.28. I managed to calculate that: slip angle is θ= 21.8 degrees acceleration is 1.09 m/s^2. I am trying to find: Let the angle θ be the angle you calculated , θslip (21.8 degrees) . To keep the block from slipping, you apply a horizontal (parallel to the surface of Earth) force directed to the right on the block. Your horizontal force F→Yb has a magnitude of 45 N. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force due to static friction for this new situation, assuming that the block does not slip. Enter a magnitude for this part, but consider what the sign of your answer tells you about the direction of the force.arrow_forwardCalculate the forces in members BC, BE, and EF.
