The blocks shown in FIGURE 6-64 are at rest. (a) Find the frictional force exerted on block
Question:
The blocks shown in FIGURE 6-64 are at rest.
(a) Find the frictional force exerted on block A given that the mass of block A is 8.82 kg, the mass of block B is 2.33 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between block A and the surface on which it rests is 0.320.
(b) If the mass of block A is doubled, does the frictional force exerted on it increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
