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.

Figure 6-22 shows the cross section of a road cut into the side of a mountain. The solid lineAA'represents a weak bedding plane along which sliding is possible. Block B directly above the highway is separated from uphill rock by a large crack (called a joint), so that only friction between the block and the bedding plane prevents sliding. The mass of the block islocalid="1654084347613" 1.8×107kg, the dip anglelocalid="1654084361257" θof the bedding plane islocalid="1654084374565" 24°, and the coefficient of static friction between block and plane islocalid="1654084400008" 0.63.

A locomotive accelerates a 25-car train along a level track. Every car has a mass of 5.0×104kgand is subject to a frictional force f=250v, where the speed vis in meters per second and the force fis in newtons. At the instant when the speed of the train is 30km/h, the magnitude of its acceleration is 0.20 m/s2.

Two blocks, of weights 3.6 Nand 7.2 N, are connectedby a massless string and slide down a30°inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lighter block and the plane is 0.10, and the coefficient between the heavier block and the plane is 0.20. Assuming that the lighter block leads, find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks and (b) the tension in the taut string.
