Problem 13. As illustrated in Figure 11, consider a person pushing a 50 kg file cabinet over a tile -covered
floor by applying 74 N horizontal force. What is the coefficient of friction between the file cabinet and
the floor?

Problem 14. As illustrated in Figure 11, consider a person trying to push a file cabinet over a wooden
floor. The file cabinet contains various folders, office supplies, and accessories on the shelves inside. The
total weight of the loaded file cabinet is W = 900 N; however, according to its specifications, the weight
of the empty file cabinet is W1 = 500 N. Furthermore, the coefficient of static friction between the file
cabinet and the floor is μ = 0.4. (a) What is the magnitude of horizontal force the person must apply to
start moving the loaded file cabinet over the floor? (b) What is the magnitude of horizontal force the
person must apply to start moving the empty file cabinet over the floor? (c) What is the change in force

Problem 15. As shown in Figure 12, consider a block that weighs W. Owing to the effect of gravity, the
block is sliding down a slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction

block is sliding down a slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between the block and the slope is μk. Show that the magnitude of the frictional force generated
between the block and the slope is f = μk W cos θ.

Problem 16. As shown in Figure 13, a person is trying to push a box weighing 500 N up an inclined
surface by applying a force parallel to the incline. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the
incline is 0.4, and the incline makes an angle θ = 25º with the horizontal, determine the magnitude of
the frictional force(s) acting on the box.

Problem 17. Figure 14 shows a simple experimental method to determine the coefficient of static
friction between surfaces in contact. This method is applied by placing a block on a horizontal plate,
tiltingdsad the plate slowly until the block starts sliding over the plate, and recording the angle the plate
makes with the horizontal at the instant when the sliding occurs. This critical angle (θc) is called the
angle of repose. At the instant just before the sliding occurs, the block is in static equilibrium which will
be discussed in later chapters. Through force equilibrium, show that the coefficient of static friction just
before motion starts is μ = tan θc
