Iqbal has to push a lighter box and Seema has to push a similar heavier box on the same floor. Who will have to apply a larger force and why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine who will have to apply a larger force between Iqbal and Seema when pushing their respective boxes, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Boxes Both Iqbal and Seema are pushing boxes on the same floor, which means the coefficient of friction (μ) between the boxes and the floor is the same. The forces acting on each box include: - The gravitational force (weight) acting downwards (mg). - The normal force (N) acting upwards, which balances the weight of the box. - The frictional force (F_friction) acting in the opposite direction to the applied force. ...

A large box, placed on the ground, has to be shifted up to a wall, as shown in the given figure. Three boys push the box together. They have to apply a large amount of force to move the box. The motion of the box is opposed by the frictional force between the box and ground. If wheels were present below the box, then they would have to apply

You are pushing a wooden crate across the floor at a constant speed. You decide to change the orientation of crate such that area of contanct with floor becomes half. In the new orientation, to push the same crate across the same floor with the same constant speed, the force that you apply must be about__________ as the force required before you changed the crate's orientation.
