Assume that the force exerted on each crutch by the ground is directed along the crutch, as the force vectors in the drawing ind

icate. If the coefficient of static friction between a crutch and the ground is 0.913, determine the largest angle MAX that the crutch can have just before it begins to slip on the floor.

Answer: 43 degrees

Explanation:

The force of the crutch can be broken into components.  The horizontal component of F is the static friction force keeping the crutch from sliding.  The vertical component is opposing the weight and is the Normal force.  Using the orientation of the angle q, we have the following

fs = Fx = F sin (angle (tita))

N = Fy = F cos (angle(tita))

Maximum angle implies maximum static friction

Therefore,

fsmax = UsN = Us x F cos(angle tita)

Where U = miyu

F sin(angle tita) = Us x Fcos (angle tita)

Sin (angle tita) / cos (angle tita) = Us

Therefore, tan (angle tita) = Us

Angle tita = tan^-1(Us) = tan^-1 (0.931) = 42.95 degrees = 43 degrees

There for Angle tita Max = 43 degrees

How could the action force of a canoe moving through water be increased?.
BaLLatris [955]
There are several actions that can be used to increase the action force of a canoe that is moving through water. One can increase the rate of striking or strike harder than before with a bigger paddle. Using a lighter canoe can also be helpful for increasing the speed. I hope the answer comes to your help.

According to the first rule, if a force pulls on one end of a rope, the tension in the rope equals the magnitude of the pulling
mixer [17]

Answer:

F.

Explanation:

Here in the question the mass of the pulley is zero, hence, the tension in the cable throughout is same.

magnitude of tension in rope 1 is

T1= F

Hence the tension T1 is rope 1 is F.

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
