    Solve for Pulling Force for Sled w/ Mass, Angle, & Coeff. of Friction

    So "static" would imply that the value of acceleration =0 ?right? so i have in the x direction: F(pull,x) + F(friction,x) +W(x) + n(x) = 0 but there is no W or F(gravity) in the x direction so that equals zero and same for n(x) (normal force) =0. therefore i have: F(pull,x)...

    Finding the magnitude of Torque

    Homework Statement A force F = 75.0 N is applied to a box with dimensions y = 2.51 m, x = 1.62 m. The force is applied at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. For θ = 35.0°, calculate the magnitude of the torque produced by F about the point O. (reference attached picture)...

    Solve for Pulling Force for Sled w/ Mass, Angle, & Coeff. of Friction

    Homework Statement A father gives his daughter a ride on a sled by applying a force F at an angle θ = 26.0° with respect to the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.153, and the combined mass of sled and child is m = 24.0 kg What is the minimum amount of force...
