QuarkCharmer said:I don't have the book, what is the actual question?
Many times friction is ignored in order to explain concepts with simplicity.
Seems just wrong to me.DannyPhysika said:Number 55. in Chapter 5, I checked the answer key and would like to know why they don't consider the forces of friction in a), b), c), d), and e)? This confuses me.
That's better.DannyPhysika said:I want to add that obviously in the book the coefficients are labeled "mu"1 and 2

Does the book really say: "The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block of mass m1 and the table is m1, and that between the block of mass m2 and the table is m2." That makes no sense! (Maybe μ1 and μ2?)
The textbook covers a variety of topics related to the subject, including key concepts, theories, and real-world applications.
The author of the textbook is typically listed on the cover or title page. If not, you can check the publisher's website or do a quick online search to find the author's name.
This will depend on the specific course and professor. It is best to check the course syllabus or ask your professor directly if the textbook is required for the class.
Many textbooks offer additional resources such as study guides, practice quizzes, and lecture slides that can be accessed online. Check the textbook's publisher website or ask your professor for more information.
Some textbooks are available in digital format, either through the publisher or through online retailers. Check with your professor to see if a digital version is acceptable for the course.
