Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
The figure shows an initially stationary block of mass \( m \) on a floor. A force of magnitude \( 0.500mg \) is then applied at an upward angle \( \theta = 20^\circ \). What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block across the floor if
(a) \( \mu_s = 0.640 \) and \( \mu_k = 0.510 \) and
(b) \( \mu_s = 0.410 \) and \( \mu_k = 0.300 \)?
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram presents a block resting on a horizontal surface. The block is subjected to a force \( \vec{F} \) which is inclined at an angle \( \theta \) of \( 20^\circ \) from the horizontal plane. The coordinate system is defined with the horizontal direction as the x-axis and the vertical direction as the y-axis.
### Required Information
**(a)**
- Input the magnitude of the acceleration for the given static friction coefficient \( \mu_s = 0.640 \) and kinetic friction coefficient \( \mu_k = 0.510 \) in the provided fields.
**(b)**
- Input the magnitude of the acceleration for the given static friction coefficient \( \mu_s = 0.410 \) and kinetic friction coefficient \( \mu_k = 0.300 \) in the provided fields.
Each input should include a number and appropriate units.
