One block rests upon a horizontal surface. A second identical block rests upon the first one. The coefficient of static friction

between the blocks is the same as the coefficient of static friction between the lower block and the horizontal surface. A horizontal force is applied to the upper block, and its magnitude is slowly increased. When the force reaches 41.6 N, the upper block just begins to slide. The force is then removed from the upper block, and the blocks are returned to their original configuration. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force that should be applied to the lower block, so that it just begins to slide out from under the upper block?

Answer:

The magnitud of the force is 124.8N.

Explanation:

First we have to find the value of the static friction coefficient, when the external force F is applied to upper block (i will call it A Block) we have a free body diagram as the one shown in the figure i attached, so since this block has no aceleration in any direction the force F should be equal to the friction force between A and B block, one we noticed this we can use the equation for the Friction force to find the coefficient:

0=F-FrictionAB

F=FrictionAB=Nab*μs

and again, since the block has no acceleration the normal between A and B block should be equal to the weigth of the first block, so we have:

0=Nab-W

Nab=W=mg

replacing this we have:

F=μs*Nab=μs*mg=41.6N

and  μs=41.6N/(mg)

now it's time to see the free body diagram for the b block, if we now apply the F force to the B block the diagram should look like in the figure.

the color of the arrow gives you an idea of where the force comes from, the blue ones comes from the B block, the red ones from the A block and the brown ones from the ground.

now for the B block you can see two friction forces, one for the ground and one for the A block, both of these directed bacwards, and two normal forces, again one for the ground and one for the A block but the normal force for the A block is aiming downwards.

again we use the fact that the block is not accelerating in any direction so the sum of the forces in x and y direction have to be 0, so:

F-Friction1(ground)-Friction2(AB)=0

This is the new external F force that we are looking for:

F=Friction1(ground)+Friction2(AB)

we know Friction2(AB) because we found that in the previous block so:

F=Friction1(ground)+mg*μs

for the other friction we have to use the equation:

Friction(ground)=N(ground)*μs

from y axis we have:

N(ground)-w-Normal(AB)=0

N(ground)=w+Normal(AB)

we found the value of Normal(AB) with the previous block so:

N(ground)=mg+mg=2mg

and:

Friction(ground)=2mg*μs

F=Friction(ground)+mg*μs

F=2mg*μs+μs*mg=3mg*μs

and since: μs*mg=41.6N

the new F force would be:

F=3mg*μs=41.6*3=124.8N

If the mass of the ladder is 12.0 kgkg, the mass of the painter is 55.0 kgkg, and the ladder begins to slip at its base when her
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

 μ = 0.336

Explanation:

We will work on this exercise with the expressions of transactional and rotational equilibrium.

Let's start with rotational balance, for this we set a reference system at the top of the ladder, where it touches the wall and we will assign as positive the anti-clockwise direction of rotation

          fr L sin θ - W L / 2 cos θ - W_painter 0.3 L cos θ  = 0

          fr sin θ  - cos θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) = 0

          fr = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

Now let's write the equilibrium translation equation

     

X axis

        F1 - fr = 0

        F1 = fr

the friction force has the expression

       fr = μ N

Y Axis

       N - W - W_painter = 0

       N = W + W_painter

       

we substitute

      fr = μ (W + W_painter)

we substitute in the endowment equilibrium equation

     μ (W + W_painter) = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

      μ = cotan θ (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) / (W + W_painter)

we substitute the values ​​they give

      μ = cotan θ  (12/2 + 0.3 55) / (12 + 55)

      μ = cotan θ  (22.5 / 67)

      μ = cotan tea (0.336)

To finish the problem, we must indicate the angle of the staircase or catcher data to find the angle, if we assume that the angle is tea = 45

       cotan 45 = 1 / tan 45 = 1

the result is

    μ = 0.336

Answer:

MOMENTUM

Explanation:

another way of saying getting the smallest force possible is the word " MOMENTUM".

momentum is the ability to keep maintaining,incresing or itself developing to move at constant speed or to increase the speed.

Nady [450]
Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Both technicians are right, to be able to make a threaded joint you need to use the external thread on one part of the rod using the tap and die set, and on the other side of the rod you need to have an internal thread using the thread repair insert kit
