A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes an mm kg block of ice across a frozen lake by applying a force FF at an angle θθ below the horizontal as shown. Assume that the coefficient of static friction for ice on ice is 0.0300, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same is 0.0100. Let to the right be the positive x direction and up be the positive y direction for your equations.
Obtain a numeric value, in newtons, for the magnitude of the maximum applied force, F, consistent with static friction when the force makes an angle 32° below the horizontal and the mass of the block is 63 kg.
Obtain a numeric value for the acceleration, a, in meters per squared seconds, when the mass of the block is 63 kg and the angle of the rope is 32° below the horizontal.
To understand kinetic and static friction.
A block of mass m lies on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is μs. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, with μk<μs.
Suppose you push horizontally with precisely enough force to make the block start to move, and you continue to apply the same amount of force even after it starts moving. Find the acceleration aaa of the block after it begins to move.
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables μs, μk, and m, as well as the free-fall acceleration g.
An ideal massless rope passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. Block A with mass mA=9.8 kg, and block B with mass mB=4.3 kg, are suspended from opposite ends of the rope.

Let upward be the positive y direction for block B, and let downward be the positive y direction for block A.

Water resistance usually has a linear velocity dependence. Consider a bicycle on a road where air resistance is the dominant resistive force on it. Also consider a canoeist on a lake where water resistance is the most important resistive force. As they move, they are both getting tired at the same rate. At the speeds they are both going, the force the canoeist exerts is 1.5 times as big as the force the cyclist exerts. The rate at which someone gets tired is proportional to the force they exert times the velocity at which they are going. Hint: To answer these questions you will have to consider ratios of things at the beginning to things at the end. If both people increase their speed by 50%, which of them will get tired faster?
