. Refer to the diagram to the right. Mass 1 (m1= 175 g) is on a table connected to a massless pulley, as shown. The coefficient of static friction between m1 and the table is 0.240. What is the maximum mass (in kg) of m2 before m1 starts
Added by Sadie D.
Step 1
First, we need to calculate the force of static friction (fs) that keeps m1 from moving. This force can be calculated using the formula fs = μN, where μ is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force. In this case, N is equal to the weight of m1, Show more…

A block of mass m1 sits on a rough table. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the mass and the table are µs and µk, respectively. Another mass m2 is suspended as indicated in the figure above (where the pulleys are massless and the string is massless and unstretchable). What is the maximum mass m2 for which the blocks remain at rest?

Objects with masses m1 = 15.0 kg and m2 = 8.0 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. If, when the system starts from rest, m2 falls 1.00 m in 1.73 s, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the table

Part A) Let's say the two masses aren't moving yet and then they are released. Let's say the coefficient of static friction between m1 and the table is 0.4. What is the maximum strength of friction for this situation? (Assume no friction in the pulley) m1 = 746kg m2 = 893kg Part B) What then would be the maximum mass for m2 that this frictional force could hold up? Part C) Alright then now use the value for m2 that is on the diagram and find the magnitude of the Net Force on the system?
