    Maximizing Friction: Solving the 10kg Block and 5kg Bracket Question

    thanks so much warren! your reply increased my understanding of friction. thanks! would the acceleration of the bracket refer to the pully part? and would it have a kinetic friction instead of static friction?

    What is the Speed of a Bead on a Circular Wire in Space?

    hey guys! this question is a complete mind boggler to me =[ consider a bead of mass m that is free to move on a thin, circular wire of radius r. the bead is given an initial speed vo, and there is a coefficient of kinetic friction uk. the experiment is perfomred in a spaceraft drifting in...

    Maximizing Friction: Solving the 10kg Block and 5kg Bracket Question

    hey guys! I've been stuck on the question for 2 days now, and it's really frustrating! I'm really hoping that someone can help me out! =] thanks in advance! a 10kg block rests on a 5kg bracket (img below). the 5kg bracket sits on a frictionless surface. The coefficents of friction between...
