  1. (p.129 prob.65) A 2.0-kg silverware drawer does not slide readily. the owner gradually pulls with more and more force, and when the applied force reaches 8.0N, the drawer suddenly opens, throwing all the utensils to the floor. What is the coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet?

    Answer.

  2. (p.130 prob.72) A roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.0km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an average angle of 45° and is 45.0 m long. What will its speed be when it reaches the bottom? Assume mk = 0.12.

    Answer.

  3. (p.130 prob.75) A device for training astronauts and jet fighter pilots is designed to rotate the trainee in a horizontal circle of radius 10.0m. If the force felt by the trainee is 7.75 times her own weight, how fast is she rotating? express your answer in both m/s and rev/s.

    Answer.

  4. (p.131 prob.86) A 28.0-kg block is connected to an empty 1.00-kg bucket by a cord running over a frictionless pulley (Fig. 5-43). the coefficient of static friction between the table and the block is 0.450 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and block is 0.320. Sand is gradually added to the bucket until the system just begins to move. (a) Calculate the mass of sand added to the bucket. (b) Calculate the acceleration of the system.
