Determine the largest angle u that will cause the wedge to be self-locking regardless of the magnitude of horizontal force p applied to the blocks. the coefficient of static friction between the wedge and the blocks is ms = 0.3. neglect the weight of the wedge.

The mass of a muon is 207 times the electron mass; the average lifetime of muons at rest is 2.21 μs. in a certain experiment, muons moving through a laboratory are measured to have an average lifetime of 7.04 μs. for the moving muons, what are (a) β (b) k, and (c) p? the rest energy of the electron is 0.511 mev.

Acar of mass m goes around a banked curve of radius r with speed v. if the road is frictionless due to ice, the car can still negotiate the curve if the horizontal component of the normal force on the car from the road is equal in magnitude to 101) a) mv2/r b) mg/2. d) mg e) tan[v2/(eg)]
