    What Is the Minimum Force Required to Move a Crate with Static Friction?

    well P is the same thing as in my original post. P = usFgSecθ / (1 - usTanθ) Now I don't know how to find the minimum value of P

    What Is the Minimum Force Required to Move a Crate with Static Friction?

    Homework Statement A crate of weight Fg is pushed by a force P on a horizontal floor. (a) If the coefficient of static friction is μ s and P is directed at angle θ below the horizontal, show that the minimum value of P that will move the crate is given by P = usFgSecθ / (1 - usTanθ)...

    A plane releases a water bomb after reaching a certain altitude. Find Angle

    Ok I understand how you formulated this equation. Now I can plug my numbers in and I get y=xTanθ+1/2 a(x/vCosθ)2 2150 = 3250Tanθ + 9.8(3250)2) / 2(280)2cos2θ How do I get rid of the tan and cos?

    A plane releases a water bomb after reaching a certain altitude. Find Angle

    I am working on the same problem. When you do the problem, did you have to solve for time in order to be able to move forward in the question?
