Now, there is some information missing to this problem, since generally you will be given a figure to analyze like the one on the attached picture. The whole problem should look something like this:

"Beam AB has a negligible mass and thickness, and supports the 200kg uniform block. It is pinned at A and rests on the top of a post, having a mass of 20 kg and negligible thickness. Determine the two coefficients of static friction at B and at C so that when the magnitude of the applied force is increased to 360 N , the post slips at both B and C simultaneously."

$\mu_{sB}=0.126$

$\mu_{sC}=0.168$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will need to draw a free body diagram of each of the components of the system (see attached pictures) and analyze each of them. Let's take the free body diagram of the beam, so when analyzing it we get:

Sum of torques:

$\sum \tau_{A}=0$

N(3m)-W(1.5m)=0

When solving for N we get:

$N=\frac{W(1.5m)}{3m}$

$N=\frac{(1962N)(1.5m)}{3m}$

N=981N

Now we can analyze the column. In this case we need to take into account that there will be no P-ycomponent affecting the beam since it's a slider and we'll assume there is no friction between the slider and the column. So when analyzing the column we get the following:

First, the forces in y.

$\sum F_{y}=0$

$-F_{By}+N_{c}=0$

$F_{By}=N_{c}$

Next, the forces in x.

$\sum F_{x}=0$

$-f_{sB}-f_{sC}+P_{x}=0$

We can find the x-component of force P like this:

$P_{x}=360N(\frac{4}{5})=288N$

and finally the torques about C.

$\sum \tau_{C}=0$

$f_{sB}(1.75m)-P_{x}(0.75m)=0$

$f_{sB}=\frac{288N(0.75m)}{1.75m}$

$f_{sB}=123.43N$

With the static friction force in point B we can find the coefficient of static friction in B:

$\mu_{sB}=\frac{f_{sB}}{N}$

$\mu_{sB}=\frac{123.43N}{981N}$

$\mu_{sB}=0.126$

And now we can find the friction force in C.

$f_{sC}=P_{x}-f_{xB}$

$f_{sC}=288N-123.43N=164.57N$

$f_{sC}=N_{c}\mu_{sC}$

and now we can use this to find static friction coefficient in point C.

$\mu_{sC}=\frac{f_{sC}}{N}$

$\mu_{sC}=\frac{164.57N}{981N}$

$\mu_{sB}=0.168$

Answer

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

explanation

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?
