One end of a 30-m rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls sideways on the midpoint of the rope, displacing it a distance of 2 m. If he exerts a force of 80 N under these conditions, determine the force exerted on the car.
A crate that weighs w = 110 N is located on a rough surface. When a force Fapplied = 40 N is exerted on the crate the crate does not move. (picture is attached) (a) Keeping in mind that the crate is not moving, the net force acting on the crate is: Zero (b) According to your answer for part (a), what must be the frictional force that acts on the crate?  f = 40 N (c) What is the normal force, N, acting on the crate? N =110 (d) When a force Fapplied = 85 N is exerted on the crate, the crate is on the verge of moving? Under this circumstance the crate is experiencing the maximum static frictional force available. If any additional force is applied, the crate will begin to move. What is the frictional force acting on the crate under this condition? (The crate is still not moving but it is just above to move.) f maxs = 85 N (e) (e) The maximum static static frictional force, f maxs, is related to the coefficient of friction, ?, and the normal force, N, according to the followingmaximum…
The diagram below is a top-down view of two children pulling a 12.0-kg sled along the snow. The first child exerts a force of F, = 14 N at an angle e, = 45° counterclockwise from the positive x direction. The second child exerts a force of F, = 8 N at an angle e, = 30° dlockwise from the positive x direction. F F2 (a) Find the magnitude (in N) and direction of the friction force acting on the sled if it moves with constant velocity. magnitude 17.83 N direction (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) 199.31 (b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the ground? 0.15 (c) What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s?) of the sled if F, is doubled and F, is halved in magnitude? x m/s? 0.229
