1.) A force of 40 N applied horizontally is required to push a 20 kg box at constant velocity across the floor. Determine the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor.
2.) A 50 N box is to slide straight across the floor at constant speed by a force of 25 N inclined at 40°. Determine the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor.
3.) A 600 N block rests on a 30 degree plane. If the coefficient of friction is 0.20, what is the value of the force, P, applied horizontally to keep the block moving up the plane?
4.) Four turns of rope wrapped around a horizontal post will hold a 1000 lb weight with a pull of 10 lbs. Find the coefficient of friction between the rope and the post.
5.) A boy and his dad put a rope around a tree and stand side by side. What force by the boy can resist a force of 800 N by his dad? Use g = 0.5.
6.) A mass of 1400 kg rests on an oak beam. The beam rests on 200-mm diameter rollers. Assuming the coefficient of rolling resistance between the beam and the rollers to be 0.90, what horizontal force is necessary to move the load on a level surface?
7.) A central horizontal force of 1.4 N is necessary to move a drum 900 mm in diameter on a level surface. Assuming that the coefficient of rolling resistance is 0.635, what is the mass of the drum?
