A cubical box (equal side lengths) of mass 1.7 kg (outline shown in blue in the figure) is supported at an angle θ = 16 degrees relative to a horizontal surface. The cable supporting the box is at an angle perpendicular to the in-plane diagonal of the box (shown as a dotted line). What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the box and the horizontal surface such that the box will not slide?

A block of mass 0.24 kg, is placed on a flat surface inclined at angle θ relative to horizontal (as in the figure) and is initially at rest. The coefficient of static friction, μs, is 0.45 and the coefficient of kinetic friction, μk is 0.24. The angle θ is increased slowly. What is the largest value of θ (in degrees) such that you should expect the block to remain at rest and not begin to move down the incline? θmax = degrees If θ = 52 degrees and the block starts to accelerate down the incline, what is the magnitude of the acceleration? |a→| = m/s2

A uniform ladder of mass mL = 12.3 kg and length L = 3.80 m is leaned against a frictionless wall at an angle of θ = 23.4∘, as shown in Figure 2. A human, of mass mh = 83.8 kg, stands a distance d = 1.10 m up the ladder as shown. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground that will prevent the ladder from slipping?

A block 61.7 kg block is suspended on an inclined surface at angle θ = 50.7∘ by a cable attached to a winch, as shown in the figure. The coefficients of friction between the block and inclined surface are: μs = 0.66, μk = 0.48 What is the maximum tension in the cord, T, such that the block does not slip? If the maximum tension, evaluated in the previous part, is marginally exceeded, what is the acceleration of the crate up the slope? Number Units
