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

In Fig. 12-82, a uniform beam of length 12.0″¾ is supported by a horizontal cable and a hinge at angle θ=50.0°. The tension in the cable is 400 N .

In unit-vector notation, what are

(a) the gravitational force on the beam and

(b) the force on the beam from the hinge?

A makeshift swing is constructed by making a loop in one end of a rope and tying the other end to a tree limb. A child is sitting in the loop with the rope hanging vertically when the child’s father pulls on the child with a horizontal force and displaces the child to one side. Just before the child is released from rest, the rope makes an angle of 15°with the vertical and the tension in the rope is 280 N .

(a) How much does the child weigh?

(b) What is the magnitude of the (horizontal) force of the father on the child just before the child is released?

(c) If the maximum horizontal force the father can exert on the child is 93N , what is the maximum angle with the vertical the rope can make while the father is pulling horizontally?

In Fig.12-48, the driver of a car on a horizontal road makes an emergency stop by applying the brakes so that all four wheels lock and skid along the road. The coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road is 0.40.The separation between the front and rear axles is L=4.2 m, and the center of mass of the car is located at distance d=1.8 m behind the front axle and distanceh=0.75 m above the road. Theweight of car is 11 kN. Find the magnitude of (a) the braking acceleration of the car, (b) the normal force on each rear wheel, (c) the normal force on each front wheel, (d) the braking force on each rear wheel, and (e) the braking force on each front wheel. (Hint:Although the car is not in translational equilibrium, it isin rotational equilibrium.)

Figure 12-62 is an overhead view of a rigid rod that turns about a vertical axle until the identical rubber stoppersAand Bare forced against rigid walls at distancesrA=7.0cmandrB=4.0cmfrom the axle. Initially the stoppers touch the walls without being compressed. Then forceFof magnitude 220Nis applied perpendicular to the rod at a distance R=5.0cmfrom the axle. Find the magnitude of the force compressing (a) stopperA, and (b) stopper.B

Figure 12-85ashows details of a finger in the crimp holdof the climber in Fig. 12-50. A tendon that runs from muscles inthe forearm is attached to the far bone in the finger. Along the way, the tendon runs through several guiding sheaths called pulleys. The A2 pulley is attached to the first finger bone; the A4 pulley is attached to the second finger bone. To pull the finger toward the palm, the forearm muscles pull the tendon through the pulleys, much like strings on a marionette can be pulled to move parts of the marionette. Figure 12-85bis a simplified diagram of the second finger bone, which has length d. The tendon’s pull F→ton the bone acts at the point where the tendon enters the A4 pulley, at distance d/3 along the bone. If the force components on each of the four crimped fingers in Fig. 12-50 are Fh=13.4 Nand Fv=162.4 N, what is the magnitude ofF→t ? The result is probably tolerable, but if the climber hangs by only one or two fingers, the A2 and A4 pulleys can be ruptured, a common ailment among rock climbers.
