Objective: Determine the minimum pressing force required to hold the picture against the wall.
Step | Formula Derivation | Reasoning |
---|---|---|
1 | [katex]F_{\text{friction}} = \mu_s F_{\text{normal}}[/katex] | The maximum static frictional force is the product of the coefficient of static friction and the normal force. |
2 | [katex]F_{\text{gravity}} = mg[/katex] | The force of gravity acting on the picture. |
3 | [katex]F_{\text{friction}} = F_{\text{gravity}}[/katex] | To prevent the picture from sliding, the frictional force must equal the gravitational force. |
4 | [katex]\mu_s F_{\text{normal}} = mg[/katex] | Combine steps 1 and 3. |
5 | [katex]F_{\text{normal}} = \frac{mg}{\mu_s}[/katex] | Solve for the normal force, which is the pressing force required. |
6 | [katex]F_{\text{normal}} = \frac{(1.42\text{ kg})(9.8\text{ m/s}^2)}{0.62}[/katex] | Substitute the values for [katex]m[/katex], [katex]g[/katex], and [katex]\mu_s[/katex]. |
7 | [katex]F_{\text{normal}} = \frac{13.916\text{ N}}{0.62}[/katex] | Calculate the gravitational force. |
8 | [katex]F_{\text{normal}} = 22.445\text{ N}[/katex] | Calculate the minimum pressing force. |
Final answer for the minimum pressing force: [katex]\boxed{F_{\text{normal}} = 22.45 \text{ N}}[/katex]

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
