A 1.02 kg block is kept stationary on a 45 degree slope by applying a horizontal force F onto it. What is the minimum value of F if the coefficient of static friction is 0.5?

a) 3.33 N

b) 2.56 N

c) 4.25 N

d) 6.40 N

Solutions

Expert Solution

Fn = normal force

from the force diagram, force equation perpendicular to the incline is given as ::

Fn = Fg cos45 + Fsin45           

frictional force is given as

f = Fn      

f = (Fg cos45 + Fsin45 )                           Eq-1

from the force diagram , force equation parallel to the incline is given as ::

FCos45 + f = Fg Sin45

Using equation 1

FCos45 + (Fg cos45 + Fsin45 ) = Fg Sin45

m = 1.02 kg   ,      

Fg = 1.02 x 9.8 = 9.996 N         

F Cos45 + (0.5) (9.996Cos45 + F Sin45) = 9.996 Sin45

F = 3.33 N
