A rigid, vertical rod with a mass of 2.9 kg simply rests on the floor and is held in place by static friction. The coefficient of static friction between the rod and the floor is 1/7. The rod also has a wire connected between its top end and the floor, as shown in the figure. A horizontal force F is applied at the midpoint of the rod. Find the greatest force F that can be applied at the midpoint of the rod without causing it to slip. N

Two rectangular blocks are stacked on a table as shown in the figure. The upper block has a mass of 3.40 kg, and the lower block has a mass of 38.6 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the table is 0.260. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is 0.551. A string is attached to the lower block, and an external force F is applied horizontally, pulling on the string. What is the maximum force that can be applied to the string without having the upper block slide off?

At a mail sorting facility, packages slide down a ramp but are stopped part way down the ramp so that they can be scanned. While the packages are scanned, they are held in place by a horizontal force from a spring-loaded arm. The ramp makes an angle of θ = 35.5∘ with the horizontal. The package has a mass of 9.75 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the ramp and the package is 0.395 . Calculate the minimum force Fmin that this arm must apply to hold a package on the ramp. Fmin =

A block of mass m2 is placed on a frictionless table with another block m3 placed on top of it. The surface between m2 and m3 has a coefficient of static friction μs. The block m2 is connected with another block m1 by a massless rope which wraps around a massless pulley as shown in the right figure. The rope does NOT slip over the pulley when moving. The block m1 is connected with a spring of force constant k whose other end is fixed to the ground. The spring is stretched with an amount h away from its equilibrium point and the whole system is released from rest. (a) Find the minimum value of μs such that the block m3 can remain on block m2 without falling off. (b) After we release the system, what is the speed of m1 when the spring returns to its equilibrium position?
