A student presses a book between his hands. The forces that he exerts on the front and back covers of the book are perpendicular to the book and are horizontal. The book weighs 32 N. The coefficient of static friction between his hands and the book is 0.42. To keep the book from falling, what is the magnitude of the minimum pressing force that each hand must exert?

A student presses a book between his hands (book is verticle).The forces that he exerts on the front and back covers of the bookare perpendicular to the book and are horizontal. The book weights31N. The coeffi coefficient of static friction between the handsand the book is 0.40. To keep the book from falling, what is themagnitude of the minimum pressing force that each hand mustexert?

A student holds a physics book in her hands motionless 1.2 meterabove the floor as shown to the left. The forces from her hands onthe front and the back of the book are perpendicular to the book'scover and are horizontal. The mass of the book is 30 kg. Thecoefficient of static friction betweent the covers and her hands isµs=0.49 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is µk=0.3.
