A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the

floor are μs and μk, respectively. A woman pushes downward on the crate at an angle θ below the horizontal with a force F⃗.
a) What is the magnitude of the force vector F⃗ required to keep the crate moving at constant velocity?

Express your answer in terms of m, g, θ, and μk.

b) If μs is greater than some critical value, the woman cannot start the crate moving no matter how hard she pushes. Calculate this critical value of μs.

Express your answer in terms of θ.

Answer:

a) F = μk*m*g/(cosθ - μk*sinθ)

b) μs = cotθ

Explanation:

a)

Given that the body is not moving in the y-axis direction, then:

- F*sinθ - m*g + N = 0     (1)

where m*g is the weight of the body and N is the normal force.

Given that the body is moving at constant velocity in the x-axis direction, then:

F*cosθ - f = 0      (2)

where f is the friction, computed as:

f =  μk*N      (3)

Combining equations 1, 2 and 3:

F*cosθ = μk*(F*sinθ + m*g)

Isolating F:

F*cosθ = μk*F*sinθ + μk*m*g

F*(cosθ - μk*sinθ) = μk*m*g

F = μk*m*g/(cosθ - μk*sinθ)

b)

Analogously, for the static case we get:

F = μs*m*g/(cosθ - μs*sinθ)

where now F is the minimum force to move the crate. Notice that F must be positive, so:

cosθ ≥ μs*sinθ

In the limit case:

cosθ = μs*sinθ

μs = cotθ

Answer:

a) F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}

b) \mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first do a drawing of the situation and a free body diagram. (Check attached picture).

After a close look at the diagram and the problem we can see that the crate will have a constant velocity. This means there will be no acceleration to the crate so the sum of the forces must be equal to zero according to Newton's third law. So we can build a sum of forces in both x and y-direction. Let's start with the analysis of the forces in the y-direction:

\Sigma F_{y}=0

We can see there are three forces acting in the y-direction, the weight of the crate, the normal force and the force in the y-direction, so our sum of forces is:

-F_{y}-W+N=0

When solving for the normal force we get:

N=F_{y}+W

we know that

W=mg

and

F_{y}=Fsin \theta

so after substituting we get that

N=F sin θ +mg

We also know that the kinetic friction is defined to be:

f_{k}=\mu_{k}N

so we can find the kinetic friction by substituting for N, so we get:

f_{k}=\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)

Now we can find the sum of forces in x:

\Sigma F_{x}=0

so after analyzing the diagram we can build our sum of forces to be:

-f+F_{x}=0

we know that:

F_{x}=Fcos \theta

so we can substitute the equations we already have in the sum of forces on x so we get:

-\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)+Fcos \theta=0

so now we can solve for the force, we start by distributing \mu_{k} so we get:

-\mu_{k}F sin \theta -\mu_{k}mg)+Fcos \theta=0

we add \mu_{k}mg to both sides so we get:

-\mu_{k}F sin \theta +Fcos \theta=\mu_{k}mg

Nos we factor F so we get:

F(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)=\mu_{k}mg

and now we divide both sides of the equation into (cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta) so we get:

F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}

which is our answer to part a.

Now, for part b, we will have the exact same free body diagram, with the difference that the friction coefficient we will use for this part will be the static friction coefficient, so by following the same procedure we followed on the previous problem we get the equations:

f_{s}=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)

and

F cos θ = f

when substituting one into the other we get:

F cos \theta=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)

which can be solved for the static friction coefficient so we get:

\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}

which is the answer to part b.

Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other.

Scenario 3Starting at rest, a 3 kg ball is dropped from the side of a bridge and strikes the ground below at 35m/s. What is the
Nonamiya [84]

   The ball's gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.

<h3>How can the height of a dropped ball be determined?</h3>

    Y = 1/2 g t 2, where y is the height above the ground, g = 9.8 m/s2, and t = 1.3 s, is the formula for problems like these. Any freely falling body with an initial velocity of zero meters per second can use this formula. figuring out how much y is.

   A ball drops from the top of a building and picks up speed as it descends. Its speed is increasing by 10 m/s every second. What we refer to as motion with constant acceleration is, for example, a ball falling due to gravity.

    The ball's parabolic motion causes it to move at a speed of 26.3 m/s right before it strikes the ground, which is faster than its straight downhill motion, which has a speed of 17.1 m/s. Take note of the rising positive y direction in the above graphic.

A boat, whose speed in still water is 2.50 m/s, must cross a 285-m wide river and arrive at a point 118m upstream from where it
son4ous [18]

The figure shows the arrangement of system

The velocity of boat can be resolved in to two

     Horizontal component  = vcos θ = 2.50 cos 45 = 1.768 m/s

     Vertical component  = vsin θ = 2.50 sin 45 = 1.768 m/s

   Due to horizontal component the boat arrive arrives upstream,

           Total horizontal velocity =  1.768 - Vr, where Vr is the velocity of river.

  Total time taken to cross the river = width of river/ Vertical component of velocity

                         t = 285/1.768 = 161.20 seconds

So 118 meter is traveled at a velocity of 1.768-Vr in 161.20 seconds

That is           118 = (1.768-Vr)*161.20

                     1.768 - Vr =0.732

                         Vr = 1.036 m/s

So velocity of river flow =1.036 m/s

A raindrop of mass 0.5 * 10^-4 kg is falling verctically under the influence of gravity. The air drag on the raindrop is fdrag =
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The displacement of the air drop after 3 second is 18.27 m.

Explanation:

Mass of the rain drop = m = 0.5\times 10^{-4} kg

Weight of the rain drop = W

Duration of time = t = 3 seconds

W=m\times g

Drag force on rain drop = D=0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2

W=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\time 10 m/s^2=0.5\times 10^{-3} N

Motion of the rain drop:

F=m\times a

Net force on the rain drop , F=  W - D

W-D=m\times a

0.5\times 10^{-3} N-0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\times a

0.5\times 10^{-3} kg m/s^2-0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\times \frac{v}{t}

0.006v^2+0.05v-1.5=0

v = 12.18 m/s

Initial velocity of the rain drop = u = 0 (since, it is starting from rest)

v=u+at (First equation of motion)

12.18 m/s=0m/s+a\times 3 s

a=4.06 m/s^2

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2 (second equation of motion)

s=0\times 3s+\frac{1}{2}\times 4.06m/s^2\times (3 s)^2

s = 18.27 m

The displacement of the air drop after 3 second is 18.27 m.
