i still can't get it... anyone else can help me cause I am stuck...

ok if what ur saying is true, then that would mean Fs and Us are equal, and my acceleration would be 1.. but i think that wouldn't make sense... corret me if I am wrong.

Is anyone elsehere that can help me..

Fs= Us * M*N Fs= Us *M/mg Fs=Us/g Fs=.0713 no i take the Fs and plug it back in right so now i do this: Fs=Us*n Fs/Us=n .0713/.70=.101 n=.101 so that would mean since N=.101 acceleration is also equal .101n

ok, i think I am starting to figure it out... you have to take Us/g and that equals Fs

ok.. i know the normal force is acting upwards, and weight is acting downwards, and there is also the force of the hand pushing on the pie.. but they don't give me a mass fro the pie.. so wouldn't that mean the normal froce and the wight cancel each other..

Homework Statement The coefficient of static friction between your hand and a pie is 0.70. if you want to put a cream pie pie in someone's face, what is the minimum acceleration needed to keep it from sliding down your vertical hand? The Attempt at a Solution Im not sure how to go about this...
