1. Physics 218: Mechanics Instructor: Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova Lecture 12

2. A block of mass 20 kg is pushed against a vertical surface as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.2. If θ=30 0, what is the minimum magnitude of P to hold the block still? θ P

3. A small block, mass 2kg, rests on top of a larger block, mass 20 kg. The coefficient of friction between the blocks is 0.25. If the larger block is on a frictionless table, what is the largest horizontal force that can be applied to it without the small block slipping?

5. Quiz (hw Ch 6) A block of mass m starts at rest at the point x=A, y=B. At time t=0 two forces begin to act on it: Here c 1, c 2, b 1 and b 2 are known constants. Where will the block be at any subsequent time, t?

6. First exam Tuesday, September 23 105 Heldenfels Section 801 and half of 802 start at 7 pm Section 803 and half of 802 start at 8:15 pm

7. All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. No calculators and cell phones BRING YOUR STUDENT ID!

11. If is given, you can find and

12. Vectors

13. Newton’s 2nd Law

14. Newton’s 3rd Law N N

15. Problem 3 from Test 1 2007

16. Problem 4 from Test 1 2007

17. Friendly advice DO NOT…

18. DO NOT use Const acceleration case formulas when acceleration is a function of time. You have to integrate or differentiate! What are the Const acceleration case formulas?

19. DO NOT write the vector sign over a projection!

20.  DO NOT forget that F p has two components: F p cos θ and F p sin θ

21. Do Not Forget to Write down what is given and express the answer in terms of what is given Box the answer

22. Help Session: When: tonight at 7:15 pm Where: 206 James J. Cain Engineering/Physics Lab Building Spence St.

23. Have a great day! Hw: Be prepared for the test Good luck!
