If you increase the weight of an object, the frictional force increases but the coefficient does not change why

Answer:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, we expect (in theory) an increase in friction when the normal force is increased.

One more thing, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force

Answer:

$\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$ = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

ρ_body = m / V_body

m = ρ_body V_body

W = ρ_body V_body g

we substitute

ρ_liquid g V_liquid = ρ_body g V_body

$\frac{\rho_{body} }{\rho_{liquid} } } = \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{body} } }$

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

V = A h_bogy

Thus

$\frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }$

we substitute

5/9 = $\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$
