91Ó°ÊÓ

A block is pushed across a floor by a constant force that is applied at downward angle θ(Fig. 6-19). Figure 6-36 gives the acceleration magnitude a versus a range of values for the coefficient of kinetic friction μkbetween block and floor: a1=3.0m/s, μk2=0.20, μk3=0.40.What is the value of θ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of an angle is60°

Step by step solution

01

Given

From the graph,

μk1=0ata1=3.0m/s2μk1=0.20ata2=0m/s2μk1=0.40ata3=-3.0m/s2

02

Determining the concept

To find the angle θ use Newton's 2nd law of motion. 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.

Determining the magnitude of the angle θ

By using the Newton’s 2nd law along the vertical direction to the block A,(positive x axis along the right and the positive y along the vertical direction),

FN-Fsinθ-mg=0FN=Fsinθ+mg

Thus, the kinetic frictional force,

fk=μkFN=μkFsinθ+mg

Similarly, to the horizontal direct

Fcosθ-fk=maFcosθ-μkFsinθ+mg=maaFmcosθ-μksinθ-μkgAt,μk=0anda1=3.0m/s2,3.0=FmcosθAt,μk2=0.20anda2=0m/s20=Fmcosθ-0.20sinθ-0.20g0=Fmcosθ-020Fmsinθ-0.20g0=3.0-0.20Fmsinθ-0.20g (i)

From equation (i),

0.20Fmsinθ=3.0-0.20g0.203.0cosθsinθ=3.0-0.20g0.6tanθ=1.04tanθ=1.040.6=1.73θ=60°

Hence, the magnitude of an angle is60°

In downhill speed skiing a skier is retarded by both the air drag force on the body and the kinetic frictional force on the skis. (a) Suppose the slope angle isθ=40.0∘.The snow is dry snow with a coefficient of kinetic frictionμk=0.0400, the mass of the skier and equipment ism=85.0kg, the cross-sectional area of the(tucked) skier isA=1.30m2, the drag coefficient isc=0.150, and the air density islocalid="1654148127880" 1.20kg/m3. (a) What is the terminal speed? (b) If a skier can vary C by a slight amountdCby adjusting, say, the hand positions, what is the corresponding variation in the terminal speed?

A 68kgcrate is dragged across a floor by pulling on a rope attached to the crate and inclined 15°above the horizontal. (a) If the coefficient of static friction is 0.50, what minimum force magnitude is required from the rope to start the crate moving? (b) If μk=0.35 , what is the magnitude of the initial acceleration of the crate?

In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the opposite side (Fig. 6-21). Sincosky’s mass was 79kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.70, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky’s grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt)

A ski that is placed on snow will stick to the snow. However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding. Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a gentle 200 mslope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61 swith standard skis to 42 swith the new skis. Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis. Assuming a 3.0°slope, compute the coefficient of kinetic friction for (c) the standard skis and (d) the new skis.
