A person wants to slide the 100−lb box across the floor by pushing on it with the force P located as shown. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the floor are 0.20. a) Is it possible to slide the box with an acceleration of 8.00 ft/s2 to the right without tipping the box? Support your answer with a calculation. b) If so, calculate the value of P that gives this acceleration.

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 person drags a 30 kg box across the floor by pulling on a rope at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. a. Draw a system schema for this scenario. (Model the person and rope as a single object, and model the Earth and floor as a single object.) b. Your system schema above might show a single contact interaction between the floor and the box. However, if the floor is a rough surface, we will split this interaction into two different forces on our free body diagram: a force that is perpendicular to the surface and a force that is parallel to the surface. (We do this because these forces are due to different sorts of physical phenomena and we model them differently, as we will see later in the semester.) Draw a free body diagram for the box with the coordinate system on the right. Label all the forces like F→A on B c. Make a table of the x and y components of all the forces. d. Use your table to write a Newton's second law equation for the sum of the forces in both x and y directions. Do we know either the x component or the y component of the acceleration? If so, what is it? e. Suppose the force of gravity on the box is 300 N, the horizontal contact force is 120 N, and the force of the person pulling on the box is 160 N. Use this with your equations to determine any unknown forces and components of the acceleration. f. Assuming the acceleration you calculated is constant, how much time does it take for the person to pull the box a distance of 10 m if the box starts from rest?A person drags a 30 kg box across the floor by pulling on a rope at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. a.
