Question

If the force F=200 N is applied to the 30-kg cart, show that the 20-kg block A will slide
on the cart. Also determine the time for block A to move on the cart 1.5 m. The coefficient of
static and kinetic friction between the block and the cart are ?s=0.3 and ?k=0.25. Both the cart
and the block start from rest.

Explanation / Answer

It is a example of non inertial frame now wehave anet(block+cart)


anet=200/50=4 m/s62


Now 20*4-20*9,81*0.25=20*a


a=1.54 of block wrt cart


now s=ut+1/2*a*t^2


1.5=1/2*1.54*t^2


t=1.39s ans
