Q11-13: A sprinter is just coming out of the starting blocks, and only one foot is touching the blocks. The sprinter pushes back (horizontally) against the blocks with a force of 800 N and pushes down (vertically) against the blocks with a force of 1000 N. 11. How large is the resultant of these forces? 12. What is the direction of the resultant force? Reaction 13. The sprinter is now out of the blocks and running. If the coefficient of static friction between the track shoe and the track is 0.80, and the sprinter exerts a vertical force of 2000 N downward on the track, what is the maximum horizontal force he can generate under his shoe?
