A jogger exerts a vertical force of 1800N on the ground. The coefficient of static friction between the shoe and the ground is 0.16 and the coefficient of dynamic friction is 0.11. What is the maximal force the jogger can produce before slipping?

The sprinter from problem 9 is now out of the blocks and running. If the coefficient of static friction between the track shoe and the track is 0.80, and the sprinter exerts a vertical force of 2000 N downward on the track, what is the maximum horizontal force he can generate under his shoe?

The coefficient of static friction is $0.800$ between the soles of a sprinter's running shoes and the level track surface on which she is running. Determine the maximum acceleration she can achieve. Do you need to know that her mass is $60.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ ?
Jogging on hard surfaces with insufficiently padded shoes produces large forces in the feet and legs. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force needed to stop the downward motion of a jogger’s leg, if his leg has a mass of 13.0 kg, a speed of 6.00 m/s, and stops in a distance of 1.50 cm. (Be certain to include the weight of the 75.0-kg jogger’s body.) (b) Compare this force with the weight of the jogger.
