Answer to Problem 5QAP

The weight of the book is not changed.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The book is pressed against on the wall. When we reduce the applying force to the book, the book remains in the same spot on the wall.

COLLEGE PHYSICS, Chapter 5, Problem 5QAP , additional homework tip  1

W= Weight of the bookf = Frictional forceR = Force on book by wallF = Force exerted on wall by book

W=mg

So the magnitude remains constant. Therefore weight stays the same.

Conclusion:

The weight stays the same.

To determine

(b)

The effect of the normal force of the wall on the book when reduce the applying force to the book in the same spot on the wall.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 5QAP

The normal force of the wall on the book decreases.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The book is pressed against on the wall. When we reduce the applying force to the book, the book remains in the same spot on the wall.

COLLEGE PHYSICS, Chapter 5, Problem 5QAP , additional homework tip  2

W= Weight of the bookf = Frictional forceR = Force on book by wallF = Force exerted on wall by book

R=F

When applied force is reduced the normal force decreases.

Conclusion:

The normal force of the wall on the book decreases.

To determine

(c)

The effect of the frictional force of the wall on the book when reduce the applying force to the book in the same spot on the wall.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 5QAP

The frictional force of the wall on the book is not changed.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The book is pressed against on the wall. When we reduce the applying force to the book, the book remains in the same spot on the wall.

COLLEGE PHYSICS, Chapter 5, Problem 5QAP , additional homework tip  3

W= Weight of the bookf = Frictional forceR = Force on book by wallF = Force exerted on wall by book

f=W

So the weight of the book is constant. Therefore the frictional force of the wall on the book stays same.

Conclusion:

The frictional force of the wall on the book stays same.

To determine

(d)

The effect of the maximum static frictional force of the wall on the book when reduce the applying force to the book in the same spot on the wall.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 5QAP

The maximum static frictional force of the wall on the book deceases.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The book is pressed against on the wall. When we reduce the applying force to the book, the book remains in the same spot on the wall.

COLLEGE PHYSICS, Chapter 5, Problem 5QAP , additional homework tip  4

W= Weight of the bookf = Frictional forceR = Force on book by wallF = Force exerted on wall by book

fmax=μR

When F reduces R decreases. Since μ is constant, fmax also decreases.

Conclusion:

The maximum static frictional force of the wall on the book deceases.
