Answer:
The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.544
Solution:
As per the question:
Radius of the curve, R = 48 m
Speed of the car, v = 16 m/s
To calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction:
The centrifugal force on the box is in the outward direction and is given by:
where
= coefficient of static friction
The net force on the box is zero, since, the box is stationary and is given by:
Answer:
0.64 m
Explanation:
The first thing is calculate the center of mass of the system.
now multiplying every coordinate x by the mass of each object (romeo, juliet and the boat) and dividing all by the total mass taking by reference the position of juliet.
X_cm = 1.4589 m
When the forces involved are internals, the center of mass don't change
After the movement the center of mass remains in the same distance from the shore, but change relative to the rear of the boat.
X_cm= 2.10 m
this displacement is how the boat move toward the shore.
2.10-1.46= 0.64 m
