A system of blocks and a frictionless pulley is shown in the figure. Block A has a mass of 2.0 kg and is on a rough horizontal surface for which ?s = 0.40 between the surface and block A
The rope pulls horizontally on block A. Block C has a mass of 1.0 kg. An external force P = 23.0 N, applied vertically to block A, maintains the system at rest as shown in the figure. What is the friction force on block A?
A) 6.3 N
B) 6.9 N
C) 7.5 N
D) 5.7 N
E) 5.1 N
Answer: A

Why didn't the Viking landers find organic molecules in the soil on Mars?
A) The Martian soil contains perchlorate, which destroyed the organic molecules when heated during the experiments. B) There are no organic molecules on Mars because they were carried away by the solar wind. C) The Viking landers were not designed to detect organic molecules. D) Organic molecules exist too deep below the surface of Mars to be detected.
A bulldozer attempts to drag a log weighing 500 N along the rough horizontal ground. The cable attached to the log makes an angle of 30° above the ground. The coefficient of static friction between the log and the ground is 0
50, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35. What minimum tension is required in the cable in order for the log to begin to slide?
