9) At a construction site, a small crane is raising two boxes of nails on a plank to the roof. One box has already been opened a

nd is half full, while the other box is new. The boxes, including the nails, weight 10 kg and 20 kg, respectively, and are the same size
a) As the plank tilts towards the heavier box, predict which box of nails will start to slide first. Explain your prediction

Answer:

The two boxes will start sliding at the same angle. Their different masses does not affect when one of the boxes will start sliding.

Explanation:

The two boxes will start sliding when the frictional force,Ff= The gravitational force,Fg

Ff= mgcos theta× coefficient of friction

Fg= mgsintheta

Ff=Fg= mgsintheta=mgcos theta×coefficient of friction

Dividing through with mg on both sides gives

Sintheta=ucostheta

Sintheta/costheta= Tan theta

Theta= tan^-1(coefficient of fricition)

From the solution mass of the boxes and gravity does not affect when the boxes will start sliding.

Box 1 (having a mass of 10 kg) will slide first as it has less inertia than the other box. It will also require less force to overcome static friction between the surface of the plank and that of the first box.

En la siguiente expresión matemáticas w=mg el peso w con relación a se relaciona con la masa m en una proporción
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) Directamente proporcional

Explanation:

El peso se puede definir como la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo o un objeto como resultado de la gravedad.

Matemáticamente, el peso de un objeto viene dado por la fórmula;

Peso = mg

Donde;

m es la masa del objeto.

g es la aceleración debida a la gravedad.

De la expresión matemática, podemos deducir que el valor del peso de un objeto es directamente proporcional a la masa del objeto.

Por lo tanto, un aumento en la masa de un objeto provocaría un aumento en el peso del objeto y viceversa.

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2. 
<span>Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. </span>
<span>1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. </span>
<span>Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. </span>

<span>Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. </span>
<span>e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. </span>
<span>Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N</span>
