Only the friction between the object and the rotating table will be responsible to keep you off from sliding out on a rotating table.

Which of these would you include in a free body diagram of a coin balanced on its edge on a table?

The force of gravity acting on the coin.


Would a book falling off a table be a balanced force?

The force of gravity causes a book to fall, but someone has to push it to the edge of the desk, or off the desk so that the force of gravity is greater than the normal force acting on the book.


Why do you have to place the microscope 5 inches from the edge of the table?

so it doesn't fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;) :)


Kinetic energy of an object is increasing and potential energy remains constant explain in tems of conservation of energy?

This can happen if there is an external force acting on the object. Then the object is accelerating, and its kinetic energy is increasing. The extra energy comes from the external force. Example: Push a bowling ball on a long table. It keeps rolling faster, its kinetic energy increases, but its potential energy due to its height doesn't change, until it reaches the edge of the table and starts to fall.


How to find the fraction of the rope that can hang over the edge of the table before it begins to slip with the coefficient of static friction?

You are going to have to make a bunch of assumptions and simplifications. If you look at a real rope hanging over the edge of a real table you will see that , due to the fact that the rope has some stiffness, it does not make contact with the tabletop near the edge (or at least the contact pressure is less there) and the contact pressure at the edge can be rather high.I will not go through the calculations (I've forgotten a lot of my "Statics" unfortunately).

Why is it necassary to scoot to the edge of the table during a pelvic exam?

It's necessary to scoot to the edge of the table so the doctor can get a good view of your vulva. If you're not at the edge of the table then the table is in the way and you're further away from the doctor so they can't get as close a look. Also your pelvic needs to be tipped up slightly, which requires you to be at the edge of the table with legs in stirrups.


How do balanced affect the motion of an object?

My understanding that the unbalanced forces are the ones that push the object in one direction (cause motion), while the balanced forces simply cancel each other out. If I have a book sitting on the table, and equal forces pushing it to the right and the left, it will remain stationary. However, if I apply a third force pushing it down toward the edge of the table, there won't be anything to counterbalance it (except the frictional force from the table), so it will move towards the edge. - Cookie :)


What is it when apples fell on floor off the table by themselves?

apple=round, round=roll, roll=far as possible, far as possible=edge of table, edge of table=drop off point....


What is diamond skirting?

Diamond table skirting is table skirting done with a fabric that features a diamond pattern. Table skirting is fabric that goes from the edge of a table down to the floor.

When sitting on a see-saw with slightly more weight on the other end what is the effect of sliding back to the far outside edge of the seat?

The main principle of a see-saw is torque. When you apply a force on the edge of an object whose center of gravity has been pivoted the object tends to move to the direction of your applied force. That is how a door also operates. Torque= Applied force * perpendicular distance of the point of application of the force from the pivoted point. So coming back to your question if you slide to the edge a little you are increasing your torque which if enough would counter effect the torque applied by the other object and thus no change of your position would take place.
