SSM Block A in Fig. 6-56 has mass mA = 4.0 kg, and block B has mass mB = 2.0 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the horizontal plane is µk = 0.50. The inclined plane is frictionless and at angle θ = 30°. The pulley serves only to change the direction of the cord connecting the blocks. The cord has negligible mass. Find (a) the tension in the cord and (b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks.

- A block of mass m = 13 kg rests on an inclined plane with a coefficient of static friction of μs = 0.085 between the block and the plane. The inclined plane is L = 6.9 m long and it has a height of h = 3.15 m at its tallest point. Part (a) What angle, θ in degrees, does the plane make with respect to the horizontal? Part (b) What is the magnitude of the normal force, FN in newtons, that acts on the block? Part (c) What is the component of the force of gravity along the plane, Fgx in newtons? Part (d) Write an expression, in terms of θ, the mass m, the coefficient of static friction μs, and the gravitational constant g, for the magnitude of the force due to static friction, Fs, just before the block begins to slide.

- This is a book problem I was given to study but I'm confused on how to approach it: A mass m = 13 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO friction for a distance d =8.3 m. Then the mass is pulled up an incline that makes an angle θ = 39° with the horizontal and has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.37. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 39° (thus on the incline it is parallel to the surface) and has a tension T =58 N. What is the work done by friction after the block has traveled a distance x=2.6m up the incline? The work done by gravity? I emailed my professor and he said to take the x=2.6m as the distance traveled along the ramp but I don't know what I am supposed to do with that.arrow_forwardWhen an object slides on a surface, it encounters a resistance force called friction. This force has a magnitude of uN, is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the magnitude of the normal force that the surface applies to the object. Suppose an object of mass 30 kg is released from the top of an inclined plane that is inclined 60° to the horizontal. Assume the gravitational force is constant, air resistance is negligible, and the coefficient of kinetic friction p = 0.2. Determine the equation of motion for the object as it slides down the plane. If the top surface of the plane is 8 m long, what is the velocity of the object when it reaches the bottom? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is where x(t) x(0) = 0 mg sin 60° 9.81 m/sec?. mg cos 60° 600 mg Determine the equation of motion for the object as it slides down the plane.

The inclined plane is L = 6.9 m long and it has a height of h = 3.3 m at its tallest point.

Then the mass is pulled up an incline that makes an angle θ = 26° with the horizontal and has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.45. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 26° (thus on the incline it is parallel to the surface) and has a tension T =49 N. With work and conservation of energy, how far up the incline does the block travel before coming to rest? (Measured along the incline.)arrow_forward

There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10-2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s². Part A Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the Express your answer numerically, in meters per second. ► View Available Hint(s) V= ΕΠΙΑΣΦΑ A20 ^ ? m/sarrow_forwardlooking at a ski slope, the length of the slope is 10.00x10^2m and the top of the slope is at an angle of 8.00 degrees relative to the horizontal.
