Answer: Ok, first, if the mass of the carr is M, and the angle of the hill is a (counting counterclockwise from the ground), the equations for the forces are:

Gravity force Fg = - Mg*sin(a)

Knowing that the normal force that the ground is doing in the car is N = Mg*cos(a)

then the Friction force is: Ff  = 0.9*Mg*cos(a)

if the car is parked, then the sum of the forces must be equal to zero, this is

0.9*Mg*cos(a) - Mg*sin(a) = 0

Mg( 0.9*cos(a) - sin(a)) = 0

so

0.9*cos(a) = sin(a)

0.9 = sin(a)/cos(a) = Tg(a)

a = aTg(0.9) = 41.9°

so the maximum angle is 41.9°, if is smaller or equal, then your car will be fine.

A 450-N rightward force is used to drag a large box across the floor with a constant velocity of 1.2 m/s. The coefficient of fri
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

the mass of the box is 51.98 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

applied horizontal force, F = 450 N

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.795

constant velocity, v = 1.2 m/s

At constant velocity, the acceleration of the object is zero and the net force will be zero.

F_{Net} = F - F_k\\\\0 = F - F_k\\\\F_k = F\\\\\mu \ N = F\\\\\mu (mg) = F\\\\m = \frac{F}{\mu  g} \\\\m = \frac{405}{0.795 \ \times \ 9.8} \\\\m = 51.98 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the box is 51.98 kg.
