    § More example force problems
    § How to solve force problems
    § Similar to homework problem
    § Friction
    Start Recording
    Review: last lecture
    § Newton’s first two laws

    § First law: If there is no net force, there is no


    acceleration.

    § Second law: SF = ma
    Solving Force Problems
    Step 1: What forces are acting on our object?
    Step 2: Draw a Free Body Diagram for each object.
    Step 3: Select coordinate system.
    Try to get as many forces in x-y direction
    Step 4: Break all forces into x-y components
    Step 5: Apply Newton’s Second law.
    SFX = maX
    SFY = maY
    Step 6: Solve for what you need.
    Clicker Question 1:
    A truck accelerates with a heavy box on its trailer. The
    box does not slip; which direction does the frictional
    force point during the acceleration?

    (a) In the same direction as the acceleration


    (b) In the direction opposite the acceleration
    (c) There is no frictional force because the box does not
    slip
    Clicker Question 2:
    A 50-kg crate rests on the bed of a truck which is
    accelerating to the right with a = 3.9 m/s2. What is the
    minimum coefficient of static friction between the
    surface of the truck and the crate such that the crate
    does not slip?

    (a) 0.1
    (b) 0.2
    (c) 0.3
    (d) 0.4
    (e) 0.5
    A 50-kg crate rests on the bed of a truck which is accelerating to the right with a = 3.9
    m/s2. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the surface of the
    truck and the crate such that the crate does not slip?
    Clicker Question 3:
    A horizontal force of 10 N pushes a block against a
    vertical wall, holding it in place as shown in the figure.
    The coefficient of static friction between the block and
    the wall is µs = 0.59. How many different forces act on
    the block?

    (a) 2
    (b) 3
    (c) 4

    component equations for this block? (FS is the static
    frictional force, and FN is the normal force)

    (a) FN = mg, FS = 10 N

    surface. The angle of inclination is increased until the
    object starts moving. If the surface is kept at this angle,
    the object

    a) slows down
    b) moves at uniform speed
    c) speeds up
    d) none of the above

    constant velocity. Which case will the person exert less
    force? Explain your answer.

    (a) Pulling
    (b) Pushing
    (c) Both exert the same force
    Clicker Question 8:
