A teapot is initially at rest on a horizontal tabletop, then one end of the table is lifted slightly. Does the normal force increase or decrease? [same question with] Force of static friction?

First part, yes; second part, idk

kittiwitti1 · Answer

Actually I think it's yes for that too

anonymous · Answer

what do you mean by yes?

kittiwitti1 · Answer

First part increases, static friction remains the same

$$ F_{static friction} = \mu_s N$$

kittiwitti1 · Answer

It... looks like I'm wrong lols

kittiwitti1 · Answer

Ok next question: Which is usually greater, the max force of static friction, or of kinetic friction?

anonymous · Answer

The normal force decreases, like you said (I didn't look at the yahoo thing).

$$N = mgcos\theta$$
If the pot is stationary the force of static friction though is equal to 

$$mg \sin\theta$$

The coefficient of static friction would have to get much, much larger for those disparities.  I dunno. tired.

what's your guess on that last question?

kittiwitti1 · Answer

Actually I can probably answer the conceptuals myself, but I have actual problems laters

So I'm good for the next 20 min or so...?
No, make that 7 min
