A book of mass 0.8 kg is pushed left across a table with a force of 2.0 N. Sliding friction provides a force of magnitude 0.2 N.

The 5-kg cylinder is initially at rest when it is placed in contact with the wall b and the rotor at a. if the rotor always maintains a constant clockwise angular velocity v = 6 rad> s, determine the initial angular acceleration of the cylinder. the coefficient of kinetic friction at the contacting surfaces b and c is mk = 0.2.

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.

The force needed to overcome static friction is usually less than that needed to overcome kinetic friction. true or false?
