A toy chest and its contents have a combined weight of 200 N. The coefficient of static friction between toy chest and floor is 0.47. The child in Fig. 6-51 attempts to move the chest across the floor by pulling on an attached rope. (a) If theta is 42^(@) what is the magnitude of the force F that the child must exert on the rope to put the chest on the verge of moving? (b) Write an expression for the magnitude Frequired to put the chest on the verge of moving as a function of the angle theta. Determine (c) the value of thetafor which F is a minimum and (d) that minimum magnitude. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :`(a)=F89N,(b)F=(94N)/(COS THETA+(0.47) sin theta),(C) mu_(s)=25^(@), (d) F=85 N` | |
