You can hold your 2.5 kg textbook against the wall, preventing it from slipping down, if you press your hand against it horizontally. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the wall is 0.50, and there is no friction between your hand and the book. What minimum force do you need to apply to keep the book from slipping down?

You can hold a book against the wall, preventing it from sliding down, if you press your hand against it. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the wall is 0.450, but there is no friction between your hand and the book. The mass of your book is 3.75 kg. (a) What minimum force do you need to apply to keep the book from slipping down the wall? Give your answer in units of Newtons. Assume you are applying the force horizontally. (b) Now suppose you are pushing the book at an angle of 37.5 ̊ above the horizontal. Now what is the minimum force you need to apply to keep the book from slipping down the wall? Give your answer in units of Newtons.

A 45 kg box is at rest at one end of a 2 meter board. That end of the board is slowly raised at an incline until the box starts to slide. At that point, the angle is at 34 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.50N. Please help me calculate the coefficient of static friction between both the box and the board?
In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the other side (see the figure). Sincosky's mass was 79.0 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.720, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers?
