16. ANS: Static friction is the friction that acts when something is not moving with respect to the surface on
which it rests. It is the friction that must be overcome in order to start an object sliding. Kinetic friction is the
friction that acts when the object is sliding.
 17. (a)
Free-body diagram: FN acting up
Fg acting down
FA acting as illustrated
FK acting to the right
“Up” and “to the right” are the positive directions.

Horizontally:

The acceleration of the object is 1.0 m/s2.

(b)
Vertically:

The normal force is 130 N[up].

18.(a)Considering the system (m = 700.0 g)

Free-body diagram: FT acting up
Fg acting down

Let “up” be (–) and “down” be (+).

= –8.48 N + (0.7000 kg)(9.8 N/kg)

= –1.62 N

The acceleration of the system is 2.3 m/s2 [up].

(b) Considering the 200.0-g mass:

Free-body diagram: FT acting up
Fg acting down

= 0.2000 kg(–2.31 m/s2) – 0.2000 kg(9.8 N/kg)

= –2.42 N
The string must withstand 2.4 N of tension.
19. For the 5.0-kg mass:
Free-body diagram: FN acting perpendicular to ramp and up
Fg acting down
FT acting up along the ramp (this is the positive direction)
FK acting down along the ramp (this is the negative direction)

5.0 kg(a) = FT – µΚmg(cos θ) – mg(sin θ)

5.0 kg(a) = FT – 35.5 N

For the 20.0-kg mass:

Free-body diagram: FT acting up (this is the negative direction)
Fg acting down (this is the positive direction)

20.0 kg(a) – 196 N – FT

Solving the system of equations:

a = 6.4 m/s2
The acceleration of the 5.0-kg mass along the ramp is 6.4 m/s2.
