Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere, which is 100 km (60 miles) thick, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle.

One block rests upon a horizontal surface. A second identical block rests upon the first one. The coefficient of static friction
Sophie [7]

Answer:

F = 156.3 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the top block, apply Newton's second law

         F - fr = 0

         F = fr

         fr = 52.1 N

Now we can work  with the bottom block

In this case we have two friction forces, one between the two blocks and the other between the block and the surface. In the exercise, indicate that the two friction coefficients are equal

we apply Newton's second law

Y axis

        N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

        N = W₁ + W₂

as the two blocks are identical

        N = 2W

X axis

        F - fr₁ - fr₂ = 0

        F = fr₁ + fr₂

indicates that the lower block is moving below block 1, therefore the upper friction force is

          fr₁ = 52.1 N

          fr₁ = μ N

a

s the normal in the lower block of twice the friction force is

          fr₂ = μ 2N

          fr₂ = 2 μ N

          fr₂ = 2 fr₁

we substitute

          F = fr₁ + 2 fr₁

          F = 3 fr₁

          F = 3  52.1

          F = 156.3 N

Savatey [412]

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, v_t=60\ m/s

Area of cross section, A=0.33\ m^2

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

Weight of the object = drag force

R = W

or

\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg

Where

\rho is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.
