A 132 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is µs = 0.24. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s²) of the crate?
A horizontal force, F1 = 65 N, and a force, F2 = 13.3 N acting at an angle of θ to the horizontal, are applied to a block of mass m = 3.1 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is μk = 0.2. The block is moving to the right. Solve numerically for the magnitude of the normal force, FN in Newtons, that acts on the block if θ = 30°. Solve numerically for the magnitude of acceleration of the block, a in m/s2, if θ = 30°.
Two crates of fruit are released from the top of a ramp inclined at 30 degrees from the horizontal and 4.5 meter long. The two crates consist of an apple crate of mass 20 kg that is placed in front of a watermelon crate of mass 80 kg. The apple crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.20 while the watermelon crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. How long does it take the apple crate to reach the bottom of the incline if it needs to travel a distance of 4.5 meters?
