Question
I'm stuck on a multiple part question that reads: Suppose you have a 120 kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor and you are applying a force at an angle of 15 below the horizontal. (a) What maximum force can you exert on the crate without moving it? (b) Use Newton's dynamical equation of motion to find the acceleration of the crate when this force is applied. (c) How far would you push this crate in 15 seconds? (d) What is the net work done on the crate during this time interval? (f) If the crate starts from rest, find its speed after 15 seconds.My questions is as follows for part A, would I need to find to find the maximum force of both the x and y axis? And If so could you please help me with the formulas needed to do so. Also, any help with the other parts of the question would be greatly appreciated as I am having a lot of difficulty with this problem.
Explanation / Answer
Yes, you would need to find both the y-axis and x-axis maximum forces. Then you can square both Fxmax and Fymax and then take the square root to find Fmax. Fymax + Normal force should be less than weight. Hope that helps!
