Well let's see:  Centripetal force = (speed²) / (radius of the circle)

So when there's a centripetal force driving an object in a circular path, the square of the object's speed is directly proportional to the force, and the radius of the circle is inversely proportional to the force.

So this means that . . .

-- if the centripetal force increases, then the object can whiz around a smaller circle at the same speed, and

-- if the centripetal force decreases, then the object will move out to a bigger circle at the same speed.

A small box is held in place against a rough vertical wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward at 27 ∘ above t
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Applied force, F = 18 N

Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3

θ = 27°

Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.

Resolve the components of force F.

As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so

F Cos 27° = N

N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N

As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .

The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N   .... (1)

The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°

                                                      = mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172    ... (2)

Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get

mg - 8.172 = 6.42

mg = 14.592

m x 9.8 = 14.592

m = 1.49 kg

Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.
