Answer:

17.74°

Explanation:

For an inclined surface,

F = μmgcosΦ................ Equation 1

F' = mgsinΦ................. Equation 2

Where F = friction force, F' = down slope force, m = mass of the book, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of static friction, Φ = maximum angle of tilt.

For the book to remain stationary and not slide.

F = F'

μmgcosΦ = mgsinΦ

μ = cosΦ/sinΦ

μ = tanФ

make Ф the subject of the equation

Ф = tan⁻¹(μ).................... Equation 3

Given: μ = 0.32

Substitute into equation 3

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.32)

Ф = 17.74°

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Friction force and the force induced by gravity. Since the displacement is in angular mode, the component of the horizontal force of friction will be equivalent to the component of the vertical force of gravity. For balance to exist, both must be equal

F_{fx} = F_{gy}

Where,

F_{fx} = \mu mg cos\theta

F_{gy} = mg sin \theta

m = Mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

\mu = Constant of friction

Then,

m g sin \theta = \mu m g cos \theta

sin \theta = mu cos \theta

tan \theta = mu

tan\theta = 0.32

\theta = 17.74\°

Therefore the maximum angle  of tilt for which the book will remain stationary and not slide down the plank is 17.74°

Ashley is flying a plane that has to reach a gradient of 360m/km in order to take off and not crash. Her goal is to travel from
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

She is likely to crash because her flight gradient is lesser than the flight gradient required gradient to avoid crashing

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The required gradient of the plane Ashley is flying needs to reach in order to take off and not crash = 360 m/km

The initial elevation of the plane Ashley is flying = Sea level = 0 m

The goal Ashley intends to make = Elevation of 1000 m at 2.8 km. distance

∴ Ashley's goal = Traveling from sea level to 1000 m at 2.8 km horizontal distance

We have;

The gradient  = Rate of change of elevation/(Horizontal distance)

Therefore;

The gradient of Ashley's flight = (1000 - 0)/(2.8 - 0) = 357.143 m/km

The gradient of Ashley's flight ≈ 357.143 m/km which is lesser than the required 360 m/km in order to take off and not crash, therefore, she will crash.
