A large refrigerator (mass 80kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so s

he begins to push it. The coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.65, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35.The homeowner applies a horizontal force of 400N on the refrigerator. What is the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the refrigerator as she applies that force?

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

By the law of friction,

F=\mu R

F is the maximum frictional force, \mu is the coefficient of friction and R is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.

R=mg

F=\mu mg

While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, \mu=0.65

F=0.65 \times80\times9.8=509.6 \text{ N}

This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.

Hence the frictional force is 400 N.

PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.

In the hysteresis cycle, the value of H needed to make the intensity of magnetization zero is called
sveticcg [70]

the residual magnetism is coercive force or coercivity.

What is H in hysteresis?

Hysteresis is characterized as a lag of magnetic flux density (B) behind the magnetic field strength (H). All ferromagnetic materials exhibit the phenomena of hysteresis.

What is hysteresis value?

Hysteresis is defined as the deviation of the contact angle from its theoretical (and mean) value due to physical phenomena like microscopic surface defects and roughness.

What is the use of hysteresis?

In control systems, hysteresis can be used to filter signals so that the output reacts less rapidly than it otherwise would by taking recent system history into account

What is cohesive force ?

Cohesive force is the attractive force between the same type of molecules. It can also be called a collective intramolecular force. : In water, hydrogen bonds are held together by the cohesive force that creates a surface tension

Besides ethical considerations, what is another reason why Milgram’s experiment may be difficult to duplicate?
ki77a [65]
Last month, we featured IRB best practices (“IRBs: Navigating the Maze” November 2007 Observer), and got the ball rolling with strategies and tips that psychological scientists have found to work. Here, we continue the dissemination effort with the second of three articles by researchers who share their experiences with getting their research through IRB hoops. Jerry Burger from Santa Clara University managed to do the seemingly impossible — he conducted a partial replication of the infamous Milgram experiment. Read on for valuable advice, and look for similar coverage in upcoming Observers. These are the first words I said to Muriel Pearson, producer for ABC News’ Primetime, when she approached me with the idea of replicating Stanley Milgram’s famous obedience studies. Milgram’s work was conducted in the early 1960s before the current system of professional guidelines and IRBs was in place. It is often held up as the prototypic example of why we need policies to protect the welfare of research participants. Milgram’s participants were placed in an emotionally excruciating situation in which an experimenter instructed them to continue administering electric shocks to another individual despite hearing that person’s agonizing screams of protest. The studies ignited a debate about the ethical treatment of participants. And the research became, as I often told my students, the study that can never be replicated. Hope this helps!
