You press your physics textbook flat against a vertical wall with your hand. What is the direction of the friction force exerted by the wall on the book? (a) downward (b) upward (c) out from the wall (d) into the wall
A child is playing on a hill with a cardboard box. Thecombined mass of child and box is ? = 120 kg. He climbs into box, which is initially at rest, at the top ofthe hill. The hill is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The coefficients ofstatic and kinetic friction between the box and the hill are ?? = 0.4 and ?? = 0.2.
Problem 1: For the following questions (a-d), consider that the child has climbed into the box, but it hasnot yet started moving.
a. What is the magnitude of the weight (also known as the gravitational force) acting on the box + child system?
b. What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the box?
c. What is the reaction force associated with the normal force in part (b)?
From Fig. P-014, P is directed at an angle a from x-axis and the 200 N force is acting at a
slope of 5 vertical to 12 horizontal.
a. Find P and a if the resultant is 500 N to the right along the x-axis.
b. Find P and a if the resultant is 500 N upward to the right with a slope of 3 horizontal to 4
vertical.
