A 5kg block rests on a 30° incline.The
coefficient of static friction between
the block and incline is 0.20.How large
a horizontal force must push on the
block if the block is to be on the verge of
sliding (a)up the incline (b) down the
incline?
There are 3 tangent circumferences
inscribed in an isosceles right triangle
Two of these circumferences have
radius R and are tangent to the
hypotenuse and to the two cathetus.
The smaller circumference has
radius r and is tangent to the two
cathetus. How can I find the radius
of the smaller circumference as a
function of R?
(I want a tip on how to solve the
problem).
