Question

In the figure below, the mass is 4.20 kg, T = 19 N, and theta = 32 degrees. The surface does have friction, with mu_s = .45 and mu_k = .39. If x is horizontal and y is vertical, What is Tx? What is Ty? What is the Normal Force? What is the friction? What is the net force on the block in the x-direction? What is the net force of the block in the y-direction? What is the acceleration of the block? What will be the position of the block after 4 seconds if it starts from a position 3 m from the left of the origin at a speed of 5 m/sec right? What will be the velocity of the block at this time?

Explanation / Answer

Normal Force N=mg-TsinQ

=4.2*9.8-10.068

=31.092 N

d) friction =u*N

=0.39*31.092

=12.126 N

e) Fx =16.112-12.126

=3.986 N

f) Fy=0

g) acceleration =Fx/m

=0.949 m/s^2
