There 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.)
A wooden box containing several objects slides down a ramp at a constant speed when the ramp is inclined at 18°. The total mass of the box and its contents is 6.3 kg. A second box of equal mass slides down a different ramp at a constant speed. The second ramp is inclined at 26°. Compare the coefficients of friction of the two ramps. Explain reasoning (I need help with which forces act in certain spaces and why)
Two objects with masses of 3.00 kg and 5.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as in the figure below. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each object. Determine (b) the tension in the string, (c) the acceleration of each object, and (d) the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from rest.
The diagram shows overhead views of four situations in which forces act on a block that slides on a frictionless ice surface. In which situations would it be possible for the block to move along the floor with a constant velocity? (Assume the magnitudes of the forces can be adjusted slightly). I do not understand this at all. I know gravitational force is downwards, and frictional force is opposing the pushing force, but how do I solve this?
Two blocks are joined by an inextensible cable as shown. The mass of block A is 124.2 kg and the mass of block B is 274.6 kg. If the system is released from rest, determine the acceleration (in m/s² ) of block B. Assume that the coefficient of friction between block A and the plane is uk = 0.41 and that the pulley is weightless and frictionless. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places. Use g = 9.81 m/s² A B
