Question
show work along with a free body diagram

Transcribed Image Text:## Problem Statement
The figure depicts an initially stationary block of mass \( m \) on a floor. A force with a magnitude \( F = 0.540mg \) is applied at an upward angle \( \theta = 21^\circ \).
### Question (a)
**Objective:** Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block across the floor, given the static and kinetic friction coefficients are \( \mu_s = 0.595 \) and \( \mu_k = 0.510 \).
**Answer:** 0.91 m/s\(^2\)
### Question (b)
**Objective:** Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block across the floor, given the static and kinetic friction coefficients are \( \mu_s = 0.395 \) and \( \mu_k = 0.305 \).
**Answer:** 2.53 m/s\(^2\)
## Figure Explanation
The diagram shows:
- A block on a surface, aligned with a coordinate axis system (x-y plane).
- A force \( \vec{F} \) applied at angle \( \theta = 21^\circ \), directed upwards and to the right.
- The direction of the force is indicated by an arrow originating from the center of the block.
The problem involves calculating the block's acceleration using the given friction coefficients and the applied force considering these forces.
