A heavy sled is being pulled by two people, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground is u, = 0.603, and the kinetic friction coefficient is Hy = 0.419. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 276 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle o = 22.0°, and they make an angle 0 = 31.1° with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled moving? minimum rope tension:

Two boxes (Box A = 9.7 kg and Box B = 5.4 kg) are connected by acord running over a pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction betweenbox A and the table is 0.18. We ignore the mass of the cord and pulleyand any friction in the pulley, which means we can assume that a forceapplied to one end of the cord will have the same magnitude at theother end. We wish to find the tension of the cord while accelerating (inN), assuming the cord doesn’t stretch. As box B moves down, box Amoves to the right. Hint: Solve for the acceleration of the system first.

A 16-year-old employee working for Southern Virginia College's (SVC) bookstore during the summer months is helping prepare for Fall salesIt's a good way to make extra money, and the teen is saving for a car. Books from one supplier are shipped to the SVC bookstore in large crates equipped with rope handles on all sides. On one occasion, the teen momentarily pulled with a force of 669 N at an angle of 35.3above the horizontal to accelerate a 124-kg crate of books. The coefficient of friction between the crates and the vinyl floor is 0.588. Determine the acceleration experienced by the crate in m / (s ^ 2) Use the approximation g = 10; m / (s ^ 2)
A 45.0-kg crate of tools rests on a horizontal floor. You exert a gradually increasinghorizontal push on it and observe that the crate just begins to move when your forceexceeds 313 N. After that you must reduce your push to 208 N to keep it moving at asteady 25.0 cm/s. (a) What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between thecrate and the floor. (b) what push must you exert to give it an acceleration of 1.10 m/s2 ?
