In Fig. 12-64, block A (mass 10 kg)is in equilibrium, but itwould slip if block B (mass 5.0 kg)were any heavier. For angle θ=30°what is the coefficient of static friction between block Aand the surfacebelow it?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The coefficient of static friction between block A and the surface is0.288

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

mA=10kg

mB=5 kg

θ=30°

02

Understanding the concept of coefficient of static friction

By drawing the free body diagram of the situation, we can find the tension in each wire employing which they are connected. Using the conditions for equilibrium, we can find the coefficient of static friction.

Formula:

∑Fy=0

∑Fx=0

Fstaticfriction=μs×NormalForce

03

Free body diagram block A

From this, we can say that,

T1=Fs

T1=μs×FN

T1=μs×(mA×g)

T1=μs×(10 k²µÃ—9.8″¾/s2)

T1=98 N×μs

04

Free body diagram block B

From this, we can say that,

T2=mB×g

T2=5 kg×9.8 m/s2T2=49 N

05

Free body diagram for equilibrium position

06

Calculations of static friction

From this, we can say that,

∑Fy=0(T3׳¦´Ç²õθ)-T2=0(T3׳¦´Ç²õθ)=T2(T3׳¦´Ç²õθ)=49 N

∑Fx=0(T3ײõ¾±²Ôθ)-T1=0(T3ײõ¾±²Ôθ)=T1(T3ײõ¾±²Ôθ)=98 N×μs

(T3ײõ¾±²Ôθ)(T3׳¦´Ç²õθ)=98 N×μs49 Nμs=tan θ×0.5μs=0.5×tan(30°)μs=0.5×0.577μs=0.288

The coefficient of static friction between block A and the surface is0.288

A ladder leans against a frictionless wall but is prevented from falling because of friction between it and the ground. Suppose you shift the base of the ladder toward the wall. Determine whether the following become larger, smaller, or stay the same (inmagnitude):

(a) the normal force on the ladder from the ground,

(b) the force on the ladder from the wall,

(c) the static frictional force on the ladder from the ground, and

(d) the maximum value Fs,max of the static frictional force.

In Fig. 12-72, two identical, uniform, and frictionless spheres, each of mass m, rest in a rigid rectangular container. A line connecting their centers is at45°to the horizontal. Find the magnitudes of the forces on the spheres from (a) the bottom of the container, (b) the left side of the container, (c) the right side of the container, and (d) each other. (Hint:The force of one sphere on the other is directed along the center–center line.)

Figure 12-84 shows a stationary arrangement of two crayon boxes and three cords. Box Ahas a mass of11.0 k²µ and is on a ramp at angle θ=30.0°box Bhas a mass of7.00 k²µ and hangs on a cord. The cord connected to box Ais parallel to the ramp, which is frictionless. (a) What is the tension in the upper cord, and (b) what angle does that cord make with the horizontal?

In Fig. 12-16, a rigid beam is attached to two posts that are fastened to a floor. A small but heavy safe is placed at the six positions indicated, in turn. Assume that the mass of the beam is negligible compared to that of the safe.

(a) Rank the positions according to the force on post Adue to the safe, greatest compression first, greatest tension last, and indicate where, if anywhere, the force is zero.

(b) Rank them according to the force on post B.
