Physicists and engineers from around the world came together to build the largest accelerator in the world, the Large Hadron Col
lider (LHC) at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The machine accelerates protons to high kinetic energies in an underground ring 27 km in circumference. What is the speed v of a proton in the LHC if the proton’s kinetic energy is 7.0 TeV? (Because v is very close to c, write v=(1−Δ)cv=(1−Δ)c and give your answer in terms of ΔΔ.)

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=
The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity
∴=mg
Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as
μ_s=
μ_{s} =
= 0.67
