The force required is 319 N
Explanation:
The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:
where
is the coefficient of friction
W is the weight of the object
Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.
For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:
(coefficient of friction)
(weight of the leaves)
Substituting, we find:

Answer:
Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m
The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.
For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.
Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.
Now we can find the velocity of the wave.
Velocity = frequency × wavelength
v = 0.574 × 0.418
v = 0.239 m/s
So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.
