93. The following apparatus was used in experiment SF Static friction. A block of mass M rests on a horizontal ramp. Two light strings are attached to the block as shown. The strings go through a system of pulleys that have very little friction, and weights of masses m1 and m2 hang at the other end of the strings. When the following values are used, the block is at rest: M 25 g m1 4.5 g m2 4.0 g What is the magnitude of the static friction between the block and the ramp? A. 0.012 N B. 0.026 N C. 0.039 N D. 0.044 N E. This cannot be answered without the coefficient of static friction between the block and the ramp. The free body diagram of the block is shown to the right. The only two forces in the horizontal direction are T1 and the static friction, fs. Since the block is at rest, they must have equal magnitude. On the other hand, T1 must be equal to m1g because hanger 1, with mass m1, is also at rest. Mg Therefore, fs m1g 0.044 N.
