A 49.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.584 and 0.399,
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) Force must be grater than 283.87 N
(B) Force will be equal to 193.945 N
Explanation:
We have given mass of the crate m = 49.6 kg
Acceleration due to gravity
Coefficient of static friction
Coefficient of kinetic friction
(a) Static friction force is given by
So to just start the crate moving we have to apply more force than 283.87 N
(B) This force will be equal to kinetic friction force
We know that kinetic friction force is given by

(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know
and 
, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
where
is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
