In the figure, block A (mass 13.0 kg) is in equilibrium, but it would slip if block B (mass 7.62 kg) were any heavier. For angle θ = 30.1∘, what is the coefficient of static friction between block A and the surface below it? Number Units

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?

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
