In Fig. 6-49, arock 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 is 0.80. 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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. FN = 240N
  2. 60% of the weight

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Mass of the person, m = 49kg.
  • 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 F鈬赌N1and F鈬赌N2exerted 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 the x and y axes (with +x rightward and +y upward, and there is no acceleration in either direction).

FN1-FN2=0f1+f2-mg=0

The first equation tells us that the normal forces are equal FN1=FN2=FN. Consequently, we know that, the friction force is given by,

f1=s1FNf2=s2FN

We conclude that,

f1=s1s2f2

Therefore,

f1+f2-mg=0s1s2+1f2=mg

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

1.20.8+1f2=49kg9.8m/s2f2=192N

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

FN=f2/s2=192N0.80=240N

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=1.2240N=288N

The fraction can be calculated as:

f1W=288499.8=0.60

or 60% of her weight.

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