The mass of the block in the drawing is 10 kg. the coefficient of static friction between the block and the vertical wall is 0.50. what minimum force f is required to start the block moving up the wall?

The minimum force to start the block moving up the wall = 49 N

Explanation:

Friction: This is the force that tend to oppose the motion of two bodies in contact. The S.I unit of frictional force is Newton (N)

The minimum force required to start the block moving up the wall = Frictional Force.

I.e F = Frictional force.

And, F = μREquation 1

Where μ = coefficient of static friction, R = Normal reaction.

But R = mg ( on a level surface) Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 10 kg,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

substituting these values into Equation 2

R = 10 × 9.8

R = 98 N.

Also given: μ = 0.50

Substituting these values into equation 1

F = 98 × 0.5

F = 49 N.

Therefore The minimum force to start the block moving up the wall = 49 N

c) power lifting, will be your answer.
