If you press an apple crate against a wall so hard that the crate cannot slide down the wall, what is the direction of (a) the static frictional forcef→son the crate from the wall and (b) the normal force F→Non the crate from the wall? If you increase your push, what happens to (c)fs, (d)F→N, and (e)fs.max ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The direction of the static frictional force f→son the crate from the wall is upwards.

b) The direction of the normal force F→Non the crate from the wall is to the left.

c) If the push applied on the carte is increased, then f→sremains the same.

d) If the push applied on the carte is increased, then F→Nincreases.

e) If the push applied on the carte is increased, then f→s.maxincreases.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The press applied on the crate against a wall is so hard that the crate does not slide down.

02

Understanding the concept of the frictional force

To show all the forces, we have to draw a free-body diagram. Using this body diagram, we can observe the directions of the forces acting on it and their behavior if the applied press is increased on the crate.

Formula:

The static frictional force acting on a body,

fs.max=μsFN (1)

03

a) Calculation of the direction of the static frictional force

Free body diagram of blocks

From the above free body diagram acting on the crate, the static frictional forcef→s on the crate from the wall is directed to the up.

04

b) Calculation of the direction of the normal force from the wall

From the above free body diagram acting on the crate, the normal forceF→N=N on the crate from the wall is to the left of the wall.

05

c) Calculation of the behavior of the static frictional force

If you increase push P on the crate then,f→s does not depend on the push P and so it remains the same.

06

d) Calculation of the behavior of the normal force from the wall

The normal forceF→N is also increased if we increase push P on the crate.

07

e) Calculation of the behavior of the normal force from the wall

As we increase push P, the normal forceF→N is also increased and the relation betweenf→s.max and normal forceF→N considering the equation (1).

f→sis proportional to the normal forceF→N , thus asF→N increases,f→s.max it also increases.

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)

Figure 6-20 shows an initially stationary block of masson a floor. A force of magnitudeis then applied at upward angleθ=20°.What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block across the floor if the friction coefficients are (a)μs=0.600andμk=0.500and (b)μs=0.400andμk=0.300?

Figure 6-53 shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at constant speed. (The cord sweeps out a cone as the bob rotates.) The bob has a mass of 0.040 kg, the string has length L=0.90 mand negligible mass, and the bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m. What are

(a) the tension in the string and

(b) the period of the motion?

In Fig. 6-62, a 5.0 kgblock is sent sliding up a plane inclined at θ=37°while a horizontal force of magnitude 50 Nacts on it. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and plane is0.30. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (up or down the plane) of the block’s acceleration? The block’s initial speed is 4.0 m/s. (c) How far up the plane does the block go? (d) When it reaches its highest point, does it remain at rest or slide back down the plane?

You must push a crate across a floor to a docking bay. The crate weighs 165 N. The coefficient of static friction between crate and floor is 0.510, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.32. Your force on the crate is directed horizontally. (a) What magnitude of your push puts the crate on the verge of sliding? (b) With what magnitude must you then push to keep the crate moving at a constant velocity? (c) If, instead, you then push with the same magnitude as the answer to (a), what is the magnitude of the crate’s acceleration?
