- In many textbook problems, we ignore certain complications such as friction and drag. The problems contain key words that indicate such a simplification is being used. For example, if a surface is described as slippery, it means that we can ignore friction. Look at the previous chapters problem sets. Find five uses of these key words and explain how to interpret each case.arrow_forwardThe shower curtain rod in Figure P6.7 is called a tension rod. The rod is not attached to the wall with screws, nails, or glue, but is pressed into the wall instead. Explain why the rod remains at rest, supporting the curtain. Explain why the name is misleading and come up with a better name. FIGURE P6.7arrow_forwardYou blow a small piece of paper through the air. Is the force on the paper a contact force or a field force?
