You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and floor is 0.55. the mass of the trunk is 87 kg. what is the largest value of alpha that will allow you to move the trunk?

The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.00 m apart. as you sit in the chair, your head is 2.00 m from the nearer mirror. looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (the mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) how far away does the back of your head appear to be?
