Problem 2. To prevent a box from sliding down an inclined plane, student A pushes on the box in the direction parallel to the incline, just hard enough to hold the box stationary. In an identical situation, student B pushes on the box horizontally. If the weight of the box w= 220. N, the angle made by the incline with the horizontale=25, and the coefficient of static friction us=0.16, who has the easier job? Show your solution.

Calculate the maximum acceleration of a car that is heading up a 4.00slope (one that makes an angle of 4.00with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. Assume that only half the weight of the car is supported by the two drive wheels and that the coefficient of static friction is involved—that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the acceleration. (Ignore rolling.) (a) On wet concrete. (b) On wet concrete. (C) On ice, assuming that s=0.100 , the same as for shoes on ice.

In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several rampsconnecting different parts of the store. Customers will haveto push grocery carts up the ramps and it is desirable thatthis not be too difficult. The engineer has done a survey andfound that almost no one complains if the force requiredis no more than 18 N. Ignoring friction, at what maximumangle θ should the ramps be built, assuming a full 25-kg cart?
