A student wants to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between a box and a plank. She places the box on the plank and gradually raises one end of the plank. When the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches30, the box starts to slip, and it then slides 2.5 mdown the plank in 4.0 sat constant acceleration. What are

(a) the coefficient of static friction and

(b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)s=0.58.b)K=0.54.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • The angle of inclination of plank surface with horizontal=30.
  • Displacement of the box down the plank surface 0.5 m.
  • Time t = 4.0 s.

Understanding the concept

The problem deals with Newton鈥檚 second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. Also, it involves the kinematic equation of motion in which the motion is described at constant acceleration.Use Newton's second law and kinematic equations of motion to determine the coefficient of static friction and coefficient of kinetic friction.

Formula:

x=vit+12at2

(a) Calculate the coefficient of static friction

For the condition that the box just starts to slip (static friction condition),

f=mgsin30sFn=mgsin30s=mgsin30Fn

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

s=mgsin30mgcos30=sin30cos30s=tan30s=0.5770.58

Thus, the coefficient of static friction is 0.58.

(b) Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank

When the box is sliding down the plank with constant acceleration:

Applying Newton鈥檚 second law:

mgsin30-f=ma (i)

To find the acceleration, we have to use the Kinematical equation:

x=vit+12at2

Here x = 2.5 m , t = 4.0 s , vi= 0 m/s

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

2.5m=0+0.5a4.0s2a=0.3125m/s2

Using this value in equation (i), we get,

mgsin30-KFn=mamgsin30-ma=Kmgcos30K=mgsin30-mamgcos30K=gsin30-agcos30

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

k=9.8m/s2sin30-0.3125m/s29.8m/s2cos30K=0.54

Thus, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and plank is 0.54.

Continuation of Problem 8. Now assume that Eq. 6-14 gives the magnitude of the air drag force on the typical 20kgstone, which presents to the wind a vertical cross-sectional area of0.040m2and has a drag coefficient C of0.80. (a) In kilometers per hour, what wind speedValong the ground is needed to maintain the stone鈥檚 motion once it has started moving? Because winds along the ground are retarded by the ground, the wind speeds reported for storms are often measured at a height of10m. Assume wind speeds are2.00 times those along the ground. (b) For your answer to (a), what wind speed would be reported for the storm? (c) Is that value reasonable for a high-speed wind in a storm?
