• Let’s try solving a problem involving static friction.
• Remember the equation for the force of friction:
Ff = sFN
• Don’t forget to include a drawing and free-body diagram.

A 50.0 kg steel file cabinet is in the back of a dump truck. The truck’s bed, also made of steel, is slowly tilted. (a) What is the size of the static
friction force on the cabinet when the bed is tilted at 20? (b) If the coefficient of static friction for steel on steel is 0.80, at what angle will
the file cabinet begin to slide?
Try it on your own, then advance to the next slide to see the solution.

y-direction: FN – FWy = 0 FN = FWy
FN = FW cos = mg cos
x-direction: FWx – Ff = 0 FWx = Ff
Ff = FW sin = mg sin
Ff = 50.0kg(9.8m/s2)sin 20

A 50.0 kg steel file cabinet is in the back of a dump truck. The truck’s bed, also made of steel, is slowly tilted.
From part (a),FN = mg cos & Ff = mg sin
The cabinet will slide when the FWx
equals the max force of friction.Ff(max) = sFN = s mg cos
mg sin = s mg cos
s = sin /cos = tan
= tan-1 s = tan-1
