A block is resting on a wooden plank. There is a hinge on one end of the plank which allows the other end to be lifted to create an angle, θ, with respect to the horizontal as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank is μs. Please use the interactive area below to draw the Free Body Diagram for the block. Use Fs to denote the force of static friction. The angle θ is slowly increased. Write an expression for the angle at which the block begins to move in terms of μs. If a student measures that the block begins to move at an angle of θ = 25°, what is the numerical value of the coefficient of static friction, μs?
To push a 25 kg wooden box up a 30° inclined plane, a man exerts a force of 150 N
parallel to the inclined plane. The wooden box slides 5 meters and the coefficient of
friction between the wooden box and the inclined plane is 0.25;
a. Draw the clear and neat figure of the system.
b. Draw the Force diagram.
c. Establish the convenient axis and reflect the component of the forces along the
axis.

A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a block of ice of mass m across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and ice is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk. θ is the angle the force makes with the x-axis.
In this part, we are going to set-up Newton's second Law equations for the cases(1) when the ice block just starts moving, and(2) when it is accelerating to the right with an acceleration a.
All answers are symbolic. ALL ANSWERS ARE CASE-SENSITIVE.
Subpart 1: Newton's Second Law along the y-axis
(i) Write Newton's Second Law along the y-axis by adding all forces in the y-direction taking into account their signs (forces pointing upwards are positive and downward are negative) in terms of the normal force N, weight mg, F and θ.
In both scenarios, there is no acceleration along the y-direction, therefore, ay=0.…
