Question

|max| = N |min| = N A block of mass 1.85 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of i¸ = 50.0A degree angle with the horizontal as shown below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.212. Determine the possible values for the magnitude of P that allow the block to remain stationary. What happens if |P| has a larger value than |P max|? The block slides up the wall. The block does not slide along the wall. The block slides down the wall. What happens if |P| has a smaller value than |P min|? The block slides up the wall. The block does not slide along the wall. The block slides down the wall. Repeat parts (a) and (b) assuming the force makes an angle of i¸ = 13.9A degree with the horizontal. Determine the possible values for the magnitude of P that allow the block to remain stationary. What happens if |P| has a larger value than |P max|? The block slides up the wall. The block does not slide along the wall. The block slides down the wall.

Explanation / Answer

Weight = 1.85x9.81 = 18.15 N down
Vertical component of applied force = Psin50.0
