In the figure, a climber with a weight of 390 N is held by a belay rope connected to her climbing harness and belay device; the force of the rope on her has a line of action through her center of mass. The indicated angles are θ = 35∘ and φ = 35∘. If her feet are on the verge of sliding on the vertical wall, what is the coefficient of static friction between her climbing shoes and the wall? μS = Number Units

In the figure, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance a is 0.885 m and distance L is 2.00 m. His center of mass is distance d = 0.86 m from the feet-ground contact point. If he is on the verge of sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction between feet and ground? μs = Number Units

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

In the figure a 56 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width w = 0.10 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.40 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is μ1 = 0.40, and between boots and rock it is μ2 = 1.30. The climber adjusts the vertical distance h between hands and feet until the (identical) pull by the hands and push by the feet is the least that keeps him from slipping down the fissure. (He is on the verge of sliding.) (a) What is the least horizontal pull by the hands and push by the feet that will keep the climber stable? (b) What is the value of h?
