Calculating Friction Force: 800N Weight & 15° Angle

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the maximum friction force generated while running with an 800 N weight and a backward force of 1000 N at a 15° angle, the coefficient of friction is 0.09. The discussion emphasizes the need to resolve the forces into their horizontal and vertical components using trigonometric functions. The horizontal component of the force is calculated as F=urSin15, while the vertical component is F=urCos15. Participants suggest drawing a diagram to visualize the forces acting on the runner for better understanding. The conversation focuses on applying these principles to determine the actual friction force experienced.

Here's there problem:
You are running, your weight is 800 N. You generate a backward and downward force of 1000 N at an angle of 15 degrees from vertical. What is the maximum friction force you can generate and the actual fritction force generated between the surface area and your shoe. Coefficient of friction=0.09

im not sure how to start this i have been using the F=ur but I am not sure how the angle works into everything. Thank You sooooooo much :cry:

But can you draw the figure and list all the forces applied to You ?
I think I can help you, but first you should draw and post the picture...
 
I think, for Ox, you have F=urSin15
for Oy you have F=urCos15

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
