Assignment #5 - Forces Questions should have free body diagrams where applicable Calculation Questions 4. In the TV show Physical 100, teams of 10 must work together to pull a 2 tonne (2000 kg) wooden ship up a wooden ramp, angled at approximately 189. The coefficient of static friction of wood on wood has been measured to be 0.55, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3. The ship begins at rest. a. Determine the total applied force needed to begin moving the ship. b. Determine the applied force needed by a single person (assuming they share the load equally). How does this value compare with the average person's pushing/pulling force strength? c. There are a number of strategies that could be used to potentially improve the team's performance. Discuss one strategy and how it could impact the performance of a team (no calculations needed). i. Spreading sand on the wooden ramp before pulling the ship up. ii. Applying a slight upwards force while pushing/pulling the boat
