In Fig. 6-49, a 49kgrock climber is climbing a 鈥渃himney.鈥 The coefficient of static friction between her shoes and the rock is 1.2; between her back and the rock is0.80. She has reduced her push against the rock until her back, and her shoes are on the verge of slipping.

(a) Draw a free-body diagram of her.

(b) What is the magnitude of her push against the rock?

(c) What fraction of her weight is supported by the frictional force on her shoes?

a.

b. FN=240鈥塏

c.60%of the weight

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Mass of the person,m=49鈥塳驳 .
  • Coefficient of friction between shoes and rock,s1=1.2.
  • Coefficient of friction between back and rock, s2=0.8.
02

To understand the concept

The problem deals with Newton鈥檚 second law of motion, which states that an object's acceleration depends on the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. First, draw the free body diagram of the person. Then, solve the given problem using Newton鈥檚 second and third laws.

03

a) Draw the free body diagram

The free-body diagram for the person (shown as an L-shaped block) is shown below.

The force she exerts on the rock slabs is not directly shown (since the diagram should only show forces exerted on her). Still, Newton's third law relates it) to the normal forces FN1and FN2exerted horizontally by the slabs onto her shoes and back, respectively.

04

(b) Calculate the magnitude of her push against the rock

We apply Newton's second law to thexandyaxes (with+xrightward and+yupward, and there is no acceleration in either direction).

FN1FN2=0f1+f2mg=0

The first equation tells us that the normal forces are equalFN1=FN2=FN. Consequently, we know that, the friction force is given by,

f1=s1FNf2=s2FN

We conclude that,

f1=s1s2f2

Therefore,

f1+f2mg=0s1s2+1f2=mg

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

1.20.8+1f2=49鈥塳驳9.8鈥尘/蝉2f2=192鈥塏

From this, we can find the force normal force as:

FN=f2/s2=192鈥塏0.80=240鈥塏

This is equal to the magnitude of the push exerted by the rock climber.

Thus, the magnitude of the force is 240 N.

05

(c) What fraction of her weight is supported by the frictional force on her shoes 

From the above calculation, we find force as:

f1=s1FN=1.2240鈥塏=288N

The fraction can be calculated as:

f1W=288(49)(9.8)=0.60

or60%of her weight.

Thus, 60% or .60 is the fraction of her weight that is supported by frictional force on her shoes.

The mysterious sliding stones.Along the remote Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, California, stones sometimes gouge out prominent trails in the desert floor, as if the stones had been migrating (Fig. 6-18). For years, curiosity mounted about why the stones moved. One explanation was that strong winds during occasional rainstorms would drag the rough stones over ground softened by rain. When the desert dried out, the trails behind the stones were hard-baked in place. According to measurements, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the stones and the wet playground is about.What horizontal force must act on astone (a typical mass) to maintain the stone鈥檚 motion once a gust has started it moving? (Story continues with Problem 37)

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鈥檚 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鈥檚 grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt)
