Determine the starting position of a 15 kg block in order to have it travel 8 meters up a 30 degree ramp with a constant force applied of 8N. Assume Us and Uk both equal 0.30.
Part 1: calculate acceleration of the box up the ramp then determine velocity needed at the bottom of the ramp for the box to travel up 8m with 80N force applied.
Part 2: calculate initial position of the box needed to achieve velocity at the bottom of the ramp calulate in part 1.
Part 3: Predict whether or not the box will slide down after stopping at 8m up the ramp.
The concept used in this question is of balancing of forces and equation of motion , initially i draw the free body diagram and then apply balances and the conditions given in the problem and finally deduced the magnitude of the velocity ai the bottom , initial position of the block and the acceleration asked in the question .
