Answer:

<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N          [1]

Where \mu is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for \mu:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}

\mu=0.41

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

8. A 40.0kg block of metal is suspended from a scale and is immersed in water. The dimensions of the block are 12.0cm x 10.0cm x
Alja [10]

Answer:

a.1017.9N

b.1029.7N

c.T=380.6N

d.11.8 N

Explanation:

(a) The absolute pressure at the level of the top of the block is

Po=atmospheric pressure

g=gravity

h1=height

rh0=density of water

P1=Po+rho*g*h1

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.05)

1.0179*10^5Pa

at the level of the bottom of the block we have

P2=Po+rho*g*h2

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.17)

1.0297* 10^5 Pa

the downward force exerted on the top by the water is

Ftop=P*A== × = 1.0179* 10^5* 0.100

= 1017.9 N

and the upward force the water exerts on the bottom of the block , which is the buoyant force

Fbot== × = 1.0297 10^5 * 0.100 m

= 1029.7 N

(b) The scale reading is the tension, T, in the cord supporting the block.

if the block is at equilibrium, then sum of vertical forces

EFy=T+Fbot-Ftop-mg=0

T=mg+Ftop-Fbot

T=40*9.81-(1029.7-1017.9)

T=380.6N

(c)  Archimedes principle state that, the buoyant force on the block equals the weight of the displaced water. Thus,

Buoyant force=rho *g*h

= = 1000* 0.100^2 * 0.120 m *9.80 m s=11.8 N

from the answer a Ftop-Fbot

1029.7-1017.9=11.8N, the same as the buoyant force
