A man is pulling two boxes, one on top of the other, up the ramp shown by pulling on a rope parallel to the surface of the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.444, and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.800. With what force does the man have to pull in order to move the boxes up the ramp at a constant speed of 15.0 cm/s? [Assume the static friction between the two boxes is sufficient to prevent the top box from slipping. You may check this, if you wish.

II. You are pulling up two boxes as shown. The force holding the top box on the bottom block is friction and the coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.500 for both interfaces. You want to move the blocks at a slow constant speed. What force do you need to accomplish this?

A block of mass m sits on top of a slab of mass 4 m. The slab rests on a frictionless floor. The coefficient of static friction between the slab and the block is 0.60 whereas the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40 . The block is now pulled by a horizontal force of magnitude F to the left. (a) It is observed that the blocks move together as a system. In this case, is the friction between the contact surfaces of the block and the slab static friction or kinetic friction? Justify. (b) If m = 10 kg, what is the maximum value of the applied horizontal force, F for which the slab and the block move together as a system? (c) If the applied horizontal force is increased beyond the value you determined in part (b), describe what would be the change, if any, in the motion of the block and slab. Explain. (d) For F = 100 N, what would be the accelerations of the slab and the block individually if you expect them to be different?

A 100 N box is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4 . A man decides to move the box so he applies a steadily increasing horizontal force FApplied on the box to the right as shown. The graph on the left below shows the horizontal force FApplied on the box as it goes from 0 to 80 N as a function of time over 4 seconds. In the graph on the right below, sketch the frictional force exerted on the box by the surface as a function of time. Explain.
