Chapter 6: Q76P (page 146)

A house is built on the top of a hill with a nearby slope at angle胃=45掳(Fig. 6-55). An engineering study indicates that the slope angle should be reduced because the top layers of soil along the slope might slip past the lower layers. If the coefficient of static friction between two such layers is 0.5, what is the least angle 蠒through which the present slope should be reduced to prevent slippage?

Short Answer

Expert verified

蠒=20掳

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • The initial angle of slope,胃=45掳
  • Coefficient of static friction,渭s=0.50 .
02

Understanding the concept

The problem deals with Newton鈥檚 laws of motion which describe the relations between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body.Using the application of Newton鈥檚 laws, the given problem can be solved.

Formula:

胃=tan-1渭s

03

Calculate the least angle ϕ through which the present slope should be reduced to prevent slippage

The maximum angle for which static friction applies is given by,

胃=tan-1渭s

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

胃=tan-10.50胃=27掳

This implies that the angle through which the slope should be reduced is,

蠒=45掳-27掳鈮�20掳

Thus, is the least angle through which the present slope should be reduced to prevent slippage is 20 degrees.

In the early afternoon, a car is parked on a street that runs down a steep hill, at an angle of35.0掳relative to the horizontal. Just then the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the street surface is 0.725. Later, after nightfall, a sleet storm hits the area, and the coefficient decreases due to both the ice and a chemical change in the road surface because of the temperature decrease. By what percentage must the coefficient decrease if the car is to be in danger of sliding down the street?
