A 2-ft-diameter hemispherical plexiglass "bubble" is to be used as a special window on the side of an above-ground swimming pool
. The window is to be bolted onto the vertical wall of the pool and faces outward, covering a 2-ft-diameter opening in the wall. The center of the opening is 5.9 ft below the surface. Determine the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the force of the water on the hemisphere.

Answer:
The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.
Explanation:
The horizontal force applied to move the puppy from a steady state has to be greater than the force of static friction, after it is moving the force needs to be equal to be greater than the force of dynamic friction in order to maintain its movement. The force of static friction is given by:
Where is the static friction force,
is the coefficient of static friction and
is the normal force. Since there's no angle on the flor the normal force is equal to the weight of the puppy, therefore,
, to make the puppy moving we need to use a force of 80 N, therefore,
, so we can solve for the coefficient as shown below:
The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.
