A downward force is applied to a wedge with a 40deg tip. The wedge separates two blocks (which have matching 20deg angles, so 40deg included, matching the wedge's profile) which face opposite directions from one another. Behind each block is a compression spring with a solid wall (cannot move) behind it.

What would the free body diagram look like for each block as well as the force balance equation for the system?

thank you!

1. A force of 99N is applied to a 26kg lawnmower at an downward angle of 25 degrees relative to the horizontal. There is essentially no friction due to the wheels. Find the acceleration in the x direction 2. A 6 gram bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 261 m/s as it travels 79 cm in a gun barrel. Assuming the acceleration to be constant how large was the acceleting force 3. A 15kg box sits on...

A wedge if formed with two thin 20cm pieces of glass. The wedge is 8μm at its thickest point. The wedge is filled with a liquid with index of refraction n = 1.33. a) When viewed in transmission whats the distance between the corner and the m=7 max b) whats the distances between 2 consecutive bright fringes viewed in reflection c) In the corner likely to be a bright or dark fringe when viewed in transmission d) Draw a diagram...

What is the magnitude F_ad of the downward force on section a?

To understand the concept of tension and the relationship between tension and force.This problem introduces the concept of tension. The example is a rope, oriented vertically, that is being pulled from both ends. (Figure 1) LetFu and Fd (with u for up and d for down) represent the magnitude of the forces acting on the top and bottom of the rope, respectively. Assume that the rope is massless, so that its weight is negligible compared with the tension. (This is...

An atomic force microscope consists of a cantilever with a very fine tip on one end. The lever is driven by a piezoelectric motor allowing the tip to make very fine movements along the surface in order to scan on an atomic scale. As it scans the surface, what is the main frictional force between the tip and the surface? a rolling b static c all three d kinetic

An upward applied force of 10 lbf is applied to a body that has been dropped. Assume the usual value for acceleration due to gravity. If the object weighs 40 lbm, what is the vertical acceleration of the object in ft/s2 ? Draw a free body diagram and label your axes. ANSWER should be between ( 20-25 ft/s2)

Explain the friction applied force graph thoroughly.
