In: Physics
Applied force F = 20 N
Mass of the block m = 20 kg
Angle of slope = 45 o
coefficient of static friction = 0.3
coefficient of kinetic friction ' = 0.15
Static Frictional force f = mg cos
= 0.3 x20 x9.8 x cos 45
= 41.57 N
f is greaterthan applied force F.So, the block doesnot move in upward direction of the slope.
----------------------------------------------------------
When the block is sitting on the top of the slope then it moves in downward direction.
Force act in downward direction = mg sin
= 20 x9.8 xsin 45
= 138.6 N
Net force in downward direction F ' = mg sin -F - ( ' mg cos )
Where ' mg cos = kinetic frictional force
So, F ' = 138.6 -20 -(0.15 x20 x9.8x cos 45)
=118.6 - 20.78
= 97.82 N
Accleration in downward direction a = F ' / m
= 97.82 / 20
= 4.89 m/s 2
. Will the block move? If so, what will it's acceleration be once it's moving
