A worker pushes horizontally on a 35kgcrate with a force of magnitude 110N. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.37. (a) What is the value of fa,maxunder the circumstances? (b) Does the crate move? (c) What is the frictional force on the crate from the floor? (d) Suppose, next, that a second worker pulls directly upward on the crate to help out. What is the least vertical pull that will allow the first worker鈥檚 110Npush to move the crate? (e) If, instead, the second worker pulls horizontally to help out, what is the least pull that will get the crate moving?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value of fa,maxunder the circumstances is 127 N.

(b) The crate does not move.

(c) The frictional force on the crate from the floor is 110 N.

(D) The least vertical pull that will allow the first worker鈥檚 110Npush to move the crate is 47 N.

(E) The least magnitude of F鈥 to move the box should be 17N.

Step by step solution

01

Given

Mass,m=35kg

Coefficient of static friction,s=.037

External force on the crate,F=110N

02

Determining the concept

The problem is based on Newton鈥檚 second law of motion which states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction of the force acting on it. Use the Newton's 2nd law of motion along vertical and horizontal direction. According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.

Formula:

Fnet=ma

where, F is the net force, m is mass and a is an acceleration.

(a) Determining the value of 

By using Newton鈥檚 2nd law along vertical direction (along y),

y=may

Since crate is not moving upward, ay0

N-Fg=0

N=Fg

Relation between maximumstatic frictional force and normal force is,

fs,max=sN=sFg=0.37359.81=127N

Hence, the value of fs,maxunder the circumstances is 127 N.

05

(b) Determining if crate will move or not

As.F=110N<fs,max

Hence, the crate does not move.

06

(c) Determining the frictional force on the crate from the floor

By using Newton鈥檚 2nd law along the horizontal direction,

Fx=max

Since crate is not moving, ax=0

F-fs=0fs=F=110N

Hence, the frictional force on the crate from the floor is 110N.

07

(d) Determining the least vertical pull that will allow the first worker’s  push to move the crate

Let, the upward force apply by the worker isF鈥, then by using Newton鈥檚 2nd law,

Fy=may

since crate is not moving upward, ay=0

N+F1-Fg=0N=Fg-F1

In order to move the crate F must satisfy the condition,

F>smg-F1110>0.37359.81-F1F1>46.05N

Since,F鈥 is slightly greater than 46.05N.

Hence, the least vertical pull that will allow the first worker鈥檚 110Npush to move the crate is 47 N.

08

(e) Determining the least pull that will get the crate moving

If the horizontal force applied by the worker is F鈥 and to move the box the total forward force should overcome the backward static frictional force 127N

Thus, F1F1>127N

110N+F1>127N

Therefore, the least magnitude of F鈥 to move the box should be 17N.
