The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P4.77 weighs 94.5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?

A student presses a book between his hands. The forces that he exerts on the front and back covers of the book are perpendicular to the book and are horizontal. The book weighs 32 N. The coefficient of static friction between his hands and the book is 0.42. To keep the book from falling, what is the magnitude of the minimum pressing force that each hand must exert?

A uniform, rigid, thin board that is 2.4m long and weighs 200N is attached to a post by a pivot at point P and hangs over the edge of a building. A crate weighing 400N is attached to the right end of the board. The left end of the board, .8m from the pivot, is attached to a light vertical wire anchored at the other end to keep the board from rotating.

1. Draw and label vectors on a horizontal board to represent forces acting on the board (not components). Show each force vector originating at its point of application.

2. Calculate the magnitudes of the forces exerted on the board by the post and by the wire. If you need to draw anything other than what you have shown in part 1 to assist in your solution, use the space below. Do not add anything to the figure in part 1

3. The rotational inertia of the board alone about its center is (1/12)Ml2, where M is the mass of the board and L is its length. Calculate the rotational inertia of the combined board-crate system about point P

4. Suppose that the wire breaks and the board begins to pivot about point P. Calculate each of the following

(a) The magnitude of the initial angular acceleration of the board-crate system.

(b) The magnitude of the initial linear acceleration of the left end of the board.

You want to nail a 1.4 kg board to a wall. To position the board before nailing, you push it against the wall with a horizontal force to keep it from sliding to the ground. If the coefficient of static friction between the board and the wall is 0.72, what is the least force you can apply and still hold the board in place?
