A block of mass 3.00 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of 50∘ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.250. a) What is the minimum value of P that will keep the block from sliding down? b) What is the maximum value of P that will keep the block from sliding up?

Problem #3 In the figure below a 3.00 kg block is being pushed up against a wall by a force P→ at an angle of θ = 50.0∘ with respect to the horizontal as shown. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is given as 0.250 . (a) What are the possible values of ∥P→∥ that allow the block to remain stationary? (b) Explain what happens to the block if ∥P→∥ takes smaller or larger values. (c) Repeat the two previous parts, assuming that θ = 13.0∘.

A block of weight W = 200 N on an incline of 20∘ with respect to the horizontal direction is subjected to a constant force P that is inclined by an angle of 30∘ with respect to the horizontal direction, as shown in Figure 3. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the incline are μs = 0.30 and μk = 0.20, respectively. a) Draw a free body diagram of the block and find the maximum force P = Pmax that can be applied before the block starts to slide up the incline. Find the normal force N exerted by the incline on the block when P = Pmax . b) For a force P = 500 N, draw a free body diagram of the block and find its (constant) acceleration a up the incline. c) If the block starts from rest at time t = 0 when the force P = 500 N is first applied to the block, find the speed v = v(t) of block and the distance s = s(t) it travels up the incline at any time t.

A book of mass M is positioned against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction between the book and the wall is μ. You wish to keep the book from falling by pushing on it with a force F applied at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal (−π/2 < θ < π/2), as shown in the figure. (a) For a given θ, what is the minimum F required? (b) For what θ is this minimum F the smallest? What is the corresponding minimum F? Answers a) Fmin = Mg μscos⁡θ+sin⁡θ b) θ = tan−1 ⁡1/μs, Fmin = Mg μs2+1
