Problem A big box of mass m1 sits on the flat surface. There is no friction between this box and the surface. A small box with mass m2 sits on top of the big one. There is friction between two boxes and the friction coefficient is µ. A force F is applied to the big box in the horizontal direction to the right. What is the maximum value of F that can be applied so that the upper box does not slide back during the motion? Acceleration of gravity is g.

Expert Solution

In this problem the upper box does not slide back means it will move together with the bigger box with same acceleration.Here we will use the concept of frictional force and Newton's 2nd law of motion.

A block of mass m1 = 0.500 kg sits on a frictionless surface and is connected by a weightless string to a weight of mass m2 = 0.200 kg that hangs from a pulley. The system is initially at rest. If the mass m2 is released and drops for 1.00 m, what is the speed of the system? Assume that mass m1 does not reach the edge of the surface. Use energy considerations, not force considerations. What is the speed...

A mass; m1 = 64 g, sits on a frictionless horizontal surface, and is attached to a spring of spring constant k = 51 N/m. The other end of the horizontal spring is attached to a wall; the system is in equilibrium. Another mass; m2 = 18 g, strikes the stationary mass m1, and sticks to it. As a result, the spring is compressed by a distance of 24.5 cm before the masses come to a momentary stop. a) How...

A block with the mass M slides with no friction on a horizontal surface (no friction) with speed x when it collides and sticks to the second block with also mass M that is attached to a third block with mass M via an ideal spring with spring constant k. Before collision, spring has its natural length and the blocks attached to it are at rest. Find an expression for the maximum kinetic energy of the third block post collision...

A gymnast with mass m1 = 42 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 112 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam. 1) What is the force the left support exerts on the beam? N 2) What is the force the right support...

A box of mass sits on the floor of an elevator. The area of the bottom surface of the box is 0.250 m2. When the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s the pressure the box exerts on the floor is 981 pascal. (Note: One Pascal equals one Newton per square meter; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2). Calculate the pressure the box exerts on the floor while the elevator a. slows uniformly from an upward speed...
