You need to push a heavy box across a rough floor, and you want to minimize the average force applied to the box during the time the box is being pushed. Which method for pushing results in the minimum average force being applied to the box? a. Keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed, b. Push the box forward a short distance, rest, then repeat until finished, c. Push the box so that it accelerates forward at a constant rate.

Abeverage can is made of 3004-h19 aluminum alloy (elastic modulus 69 gpa, tensile yield strength 285 mpa, density 2.72 g/cm^3). the dimensions on the can are approximated as a thin-walled cylinder with a height of 4.83 inches, diameter of 2.60 inches. empty the can has a mass of 14.2 g. determine: a. the wall thickness of the cylinder b. assuming a pinned-pinned condition what is the critical load? c. assuming a fixed-fixed condition what is the critical load?
