Answer:

tan \theta = \mu_s

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0 (1)

where

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, \theta the angle of the slope

\mu_s R is the frictional force, with \mu_s being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

R-mg cos \theta = 0

where

R is the normal reaction

mg cos \theta is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

R=mg cos \theta

And substituting into (1)

mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0

Re-arranging the equation,

sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of \mu_s, the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N
