A fancy angled shelf is placed against a frictionless wall with a hanging plant (extra fancy - you pay extra for that). The massive plant of 80kg is hung at the top of the shelf. The length of the shelf is 5m long. The height, h, against the wall is 4m. Assuming the shelf is 40kg. The floor is rough and exerts friction on the bottom of the shelf. (a) Draw an FBD of all the forces on the shelf. 4pts (b) What is the force from the wall on the shelf? Fs = Force Shelf 8 pts (c) What is the coefficient of friction between the shelf and the ground? 3 pts 5.0 m kg Ms = 0.40 h
