Problem #3 In the figure below a 3.00 kg block is being pushed up against a wall by a force P→ at an angle of θ = 50.0∘ with respect to the horizontal as shown. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is given as 0.250 . (a) What are the possible values of ∥P→∥ that allow the block to remain stationary? (b) Explain what happens to the block if ∥P→∥ takes smaller or larger values. (c) Repeat the two previous parts, assuming that θ = 13.0∘.

A book of mass M is positioned against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction between the book and the wall is μ. You wish to keep the book from falling by pushing on it with a force F applied at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal (−π/2 < θ < π/2), as shown in the figure. (a) For a given θ, what is the minimum F required? (b) For what θ is this minimum F the smallest? What is the corresponding minimum F? Answers a) Fmin = Mg μscos⁡θ+sin⁡θ b) θ = tan−1 ⁡1/μs, Fmin = Mg μs2+1

A block of mass 8 kg is pushed against a wall by a stick that is oriented at and angle 66∘ with the horizontal direction and is being pulled by a vertical string at the same time. The block is moving along the wall with a constant downward velocity. There is kinetic friction between the block and the wall. Given that the normal force exerted by the stick on the block is 43 N and the tension on the block is 37 N. find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wall and the block, μk, that allows the block to slide with constant velocity. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 and retain your answer to two decimal places. You are encouraged to draw a free-body diagram in your solution, which will provide you with partial credit if you submit your self-grading later.
