- I was given this problem, and I don't really know what to do about the fact that the normal force doesn't equal the weight for this problem. How am I supposed to find the kinetic friction coefficient now? A box of mass 2,463g is on level ground being pulled by a force of 6.41N at angle 47.2 above horizontal. If the block is moving with a constant velocity, what is the kinetic friction coefficient? (Hint: the normal force does not always equal the weight; it does not in this case.)arrow_forwardThere is a rough plane inclined at an angle θ to the horizontal where tan(θ)=12/5. Assume that μs = μk = 1.6. A rope applies a tension of 9 N to pull a 1.3 kg particle down the incline. What is theparticle’s acceleration? Use g=10m/s/s. (Side note: It will be helpful to draw the relevant free body diagram and to convert the decimal numbers to fractions.)arrow_forwardA cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where m, = 3.60 kg and m, = 7.10 kg. The system accelerates with a magnitude of 1.34 m/s?. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the masses and the incline is the same for both masses. Assume the pulley is frictionless, and the cord is massless.

- Two blocks of masses m, = 4.0 kg and mg = 8.0 kg are connected with a string that passes over a very light pulley (Figure 1). Friction in the pulley can be ignored. Block 1 is resting on a rough table and block 2 is hanging over the edge. The coefficient of friction between the block 1 and the table is 0.70 (assume static and kinetic friction have the same value). Block 1 is also connected to a spring with a constant 300 N/m. In the initial state, the spring is relaxed as a person is holding block 2, but the string is still taut. When block 2 is released, it moves down for a distanced until it stops (the final state).
