The handle of a floor mop of mass m makes an angle with the vertical direction; see Fig. 5-50. Let k be the coefficient of kinetic friction between mop and floor and s the coefficient of static friction between mop and floor. Neglect the mass of the handle. (a) Find the magnitude of the force F directed along the handle required to slide the mop with uniform velocity across the floor. (b) Show that if is smaller than a certain angle 0 the mop cannot be made to slide across the floor no matter how great a force

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
