A crate with a mass of 60 kilogram crate is resting on a flat horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the surface is μs = 0.5. There are two forces that are applied to the crate. P1 = 250 lbs and P2 = 125 lbs. Determine and state whether the crate will remain stationary or begin to move.

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?

The figure below shows a crate with a mass of m = 3.80 kg on a ramp inclined at an angle of 35.0∘. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the ramp is 0.265. Find the minimum magnitude of the force F→ (in N), applied to the crate in a direction perpendicular to the ramp, that will prevent the crate from sliding down the ramp. N

The crate shown is held against wedge B by a spring. The spring is 94% of its original uncompressed length l = 3 m and the spring constant is given as k = 1550 N/m. The coefficient of static friction at all contacting surface is μs = 0.1. The mass of the crate is m = 30 kg and the angle is θ = 15∘. Neglect the mass of the wedge. Assume the crate only moves in the y direction and that wedge A cannot move. Determine (1) The normal force exerted by the crate on the wedge (2) The smallest horizontal force P to move the crate upward
