A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12

7 N horizontal force keeps it moving at a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor.

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair

μ_s= $F_{max}/F_{n}$

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴ $F_{n}$ =mg

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s= $F_{max}/mg$

μ_{s} = $=165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )$

= 0.67

Answer:

The speed it reaches the bottom is

$v=6.51m/s$

Explanation:

Given: $m=5.0kg$ , $r=47cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.47m$

Using the conservation of energy theorem

$U_i=K_E+K_{ER}$

$m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2+\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2$

$v=r*w$ , $I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2$

$m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*(r*w)^2 +\frac{1}{2}*[\frac{1}{2} *m*r^2]*w^2$

$m*g*h=\frac{3}{4}*m*r^2*w^2$

$g*h=\frac{3}{4}*r^2*w^2$

Solve to w'

$w^2=\frac{4*g*h}{3*r^2}$

$h=x*sin(30)=6.5m*sin(30)=3.25m$

$w=\sqrt{\frac{4*9.8m/s^2*3.25m}{3*(0.235m)^2}}$

$w=27.74rad/s$

$v=27.74rad/s*0.235m=6.51m/s$

A rectangular loop with dimensions 4.20 cm by 9.50 cm carries current I. The current in the loop produces a magnetic field at th

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

I=1.48 A

Explanation:

Given that

B=3.1 x 10⁻5 T

b= 4.2 cm

l= 9.5 cm

The relationship for magnetic field and current given as

$B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D$

Where

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}$

By putting the values

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}$

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{0.042^2+0.095^2}}{0.042\times 0.095}$

D=26.03 m⁻¹

$B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D$

$3.1\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{2\times 4\times \pi \times 10^{-7} I}{\pi}\times 26.03$

$I=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-5}}{{2\times 4\times 10^{-7} }\times 26.03}$

I=1.48 A
