Bonus: Investigate whether the equilibrium can be maintained. The coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.3. Hint: The friction at B is pointing up, determine the ratio F/N at B in terms of the distance x where x is the distance between the normal force line of action and the top surface of the block. Determine the possible range of x and if there are any values of x so that F/N < μs.

Engineering a highway curve. If a car goes through a curve too fast, the car tends to slide out of the curve. For a banked curve with friction, a frictional force acts on a fast car to oppose the tendency to slide out of the curve; the force is directed down the bank (in the direction water would drain). Consider a circular curve of radius R = 220 m and bank angle θ, where the coefficient of static friction between tires and pavement is μs. A car (without negative lift) is driven around the curve as shown in the figure below. Find an expression for the car speed vmax that puts the car on the verge of sliding out, in terms of R, θ, and μs. Evaluate vmax for a bank angle of θ = 11∘ and for (a) μs = 0.77 (dry pavement) and (b) μs = 0.047 (wet or icy pavement). (Now you can see why accidents occur in highway curves when icy conditions are not obvious to drivers, who tend to drive at normal speeds. ) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Blocks A and B each have a mass m = 12 kg. The coefficient of static friction between A and B is μs = 0.26. The angle shown is θ = 41∘. Neglect any friction between B and C. Determine the largest horizontal force P→ that can be applied so that A will not slip on B. P→ = number (rtol = 0.05, atol = 1 e−08) N
