A student presses a book between his hands, as the drawing indicates. The forces that he exerts on the front and back covers of

the book are perpendicular to the book and are horizontal. The book weighs 32.9 N. The coefficient of static friction between his hands and the book is 0.416. To keep the book from falling, what is the magnitude of the minimum pressing force that each hand must exert?

Answer: 39.5 N

Explanation:

2 x force x static friction coefficient = weight  (weight=2μsF)

force = ?

static friction coefficient = 0.416

weight = 32.9N

substituting the values above into the equation we get

2 x F x 0.416 = 32.9

F = 32.9 / (2 x 0.416)

F = 39.5N

How do cells use food to make energy and maintain homeostasis?
vladimir1956 [14]

Homeostasis is the state of maintaining steady internal conditions by the living organisms. Cells obtain energy through the process of cellular respiration. It is a metabolic process of conversion of the biochemical energy from the nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It also maintains the temperature of the body. The energy produced during this process is used in the cell division and repair of the cells by the breakdown of ATP and maintains homeostasis. They exchange substances with the new cells and also eliminate the wastes thereby maintaining homeostasis.

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d
Step2247 [10]
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.
