Chapter 3, Problem 3/002 (video solution to similar problem attached) The 32-kg crate is stationary when the force P is applied. Determine the resulting acceleration of the crate if (a) P = 0, (b) P = 71 N, and (c) P = 163 N. The acceleration is positive if up the slope, negative if down the slope. $\mu_s = 0.18$ $\mu_k = 0.14$ Answers: (a) P = 0 $a = $ ____ $m/s^2$ (b) P = 71 N $a = $ ____ $m/s^2$ (c) P = 163 N $a = $ ____ $m/s^2$

Step 1
The net force is equal to the applied force minus the force of friction. The force of friction can be calculated using the equation: Frictional force = coefficient of friction * normal force Since the crate is stationary, the normal force is equal to the weight Show more…

A person pushes a 32 kg crate as shown in the figure below. If the force applied by the person is 330N and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.45, what is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the crate?

Consider again the cube in Problem 34 (Fig. P8.34), but now assume the force is applied along a horizontal line that is $0.20 \mathrm{m}$ above the floor. At what value of $F$ will the crate begin to tip?
