The plane is inclined at an angle of theta = 0 away from vertical, as shown in the diagram. Carts B and C are connected by an essentially massless string. Another massless string runs from Cart B over a massless and frictionless pulley to a hanging block, Block A.arrow_forwardThe longer, top cord loops over a frictionless pulley and pulls with a force of magnitude 74 N on the wall to which it is attached.

The tension force in the rope is 58.0 N and the angle is 30° with respect to the horizontal. The frictional force on the box is 18.0 N. Match the answers with questions.

Rather, some other physical property is measured and the desired physical property is computed from the results. For example, a bathroom scale does not actually measure mass or "weight," but rather the compression distance of a spring. The numerical values on the scale are calibrated from the compression distance using basic physics principles such as Newton's second law. Coefficients of friction cannot be measured directly. In this problem, we are going to learn how we can indirectly measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between two surfaces by directly measuring the expansion of a spring. Consider a 5.45 kg5.45 kg block that is dragged by a spring on a (relatively) frictionless horizontal surface at constant velocity. Suppose the block reaches a rough patch and the spring stretches by 5.25 cm5.25 cm. Compute the coefficient of kinetic friction ?μ between the block and the rough patch if the spring…arrow_forward
