Question
-
A worker moves a 20-kg crate on a level surface by pulling on the free end of a light, uniform cable whose other end is attached to the crate. The resultant tension in the cable is 200 N at an angle of 300 above the horizontal. (See the diagram below.) If the coefficient of friction between the crate and the surface is μk = 0.40, what is the resultant acceleration of the system?
a. 3.9 m/s2
b. 2.5 m/s2
c. 4.6 m/s2
d. 3.2 m/s2
e. 1.8 m/s2

O řr and Fa and Ě, Submit Request Answer Usually the best advice is to choose a coordinate system so that the acceleration of the system is directly along one of the coordinate axes. If the system isn't accelerating, then you are better off choosing the coordinate system with the most vectors along the coordinate axes.
