Ablock rests on a wedge on a horizontal surface. the coefficient of friction of the block on the wedge is μ. gravity is directed down. the wedge angle θ obeys tan θ < μ. the wedge is accelerated horizontally at rate a. find the maximum and minimum values of a for the block to stay fixed on the plane.

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter

Aturntable that spins at a constant 74.0 rpm takes 3.10 s to reach this angular speed after it is turned on. find its angular acceleration (in rad/s2), assuming it to be constant, and the number of degrees it turns through while speeding up.
