A block with mass M = 5 kg rests on a surface with a coefficient of static friction of μs = 0.5 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = 0.3. A force is applied pushing it to the right. (a) What is the max force that can be applied to have the block remain stationary? (b) What happens if half the max force, from (a), is applied to the block? (c) The block is traveling to the right with a magnitude of the applied force, |F→A| = 20 N, what is the acceleration of the block?

Learning Goal: Static and Kinetic Friction Short Calclations A 25.0 kg wooden crate rests on a wood floor. The coefficient of static friction between the wood crate and the wood floor is μs = 0.53. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wood crate and the wood floor is 0.44. You pull on the rope attached to the crate. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 9.80 m/s2. Part A - What maximum force (in Newtons) can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it? Part B - If you pull on the crate with a 38.96 N horizontal force, what is the magnitude of the frictional force? Part C - Now you increase the pulling force gradually to the value in Part A, the crate will start moving. Notice that the type of frictional force will change and the magnitude will also change. After the crate starts moving, your pulfing force remains at the value in Part A. What will be the crate's acceleration? As shown in the same crate from the above parts rests on the same wooden floor. A 100 N force presses on the crate from above. Part D - What is the magnitude of the normal force on the crate by the floor? Part E - What is the minimum horizontal pulling force (in Newtons) to make the crate start moving?

3. (18 pts) In the diagram below, a block (m2 = 1.5 kg) is at rest on the right edge of a large slab (m1 = 9.0 kg). There is a coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and m2 equal to 0.2. The slab, in turn, is sitting on a slippery floor with effectively zero friction (μk = 0). The slab is 4.0 meters wide, and the block is 0.5 meters wide. A constant horizontal force F→ is applied to the block, pulling it to the left. It takes two seconds for the block to reach the other side of the slab. (a) How far (in meters) is the bottom slab pulled along in that time? (b) What is the magnitude of F→? *Hint: The block starts with its right side lined up with the right side of the slab, and ends up with its left side lined up with the left side of the slab. Determine an expression for the distance the slab moves in terms of how far the block moves. Use an inertial reference frame, i. e. static origin on the right side of the table.

A block of mass m = 100 kg is on an inclined plane as shown where ∅ = 20 degrees and θ = 40 degrees. The coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.35 and coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.3 . Determine the friction force, F, acting on the block when force P with a magnitude of 200 N is applied to the block, which remains in equilibrium. Determine the magnitude of the force, P, required to initiate motion of the block up the slope from rest. Determine the magnitude of the friction force F acting on the block if P = 900 N.
