Question

The mass of the book is mB = 0.5 kg and the mass of the cinderblock is mC = 8 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the cinderblock and the table is s = 0.7 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cinderblock and the book is k = 0.5. Note: The cinderblock remains at rest on the table.

What is the magnitude of the friction force between the cinderblock and the table? The mass of the book is mB = 0.5 kg and the mass of the cinderblock is mC = 8 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the cinderblock and the table is s = 0.7 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cinderblock and the book is k = 0.5. Note: The cinderblock remains at rest on the table.

What is the magnitude of the friction force between the cinderblock and the table? Book Cinder block Table

Explanation / Answer

IN vertical,

N - (mB + mC)g = 0

N = 8.5g

f_max = us N = 0.7 x 8.5 x 9.8 = 58.31 N


for Book.

N = 0.5g

fk = uk N = 0.5 x 0.5 x 9.8 = 2.45 N


and 2.45 < f_max


so friction force on Cinderblock will be 2.45 N ......Ans
