Answer:

The coefficient friction

μ = 0.11

Explanation:

To find the coefficient of kinetic can be find using conserved energy equations and knowing the friction force is

fk = μ * N

Now to determine use the equation

Wf = ¹/₂ * m * v² = ¹/₂ * 17 kg * 2.5² m / s = 53.125 J

We = 24.0 N * cos (0) * 9.4 m = 225.6 J

Wt = Wf - We = 53.125 J - 225.6 J = - 172.475 J

Wt = fk * d

fk = Wt / d = 18.35 N

Now to find the coefficient μ'

N = m * g = 17 kg * 9.8  m/s² = 166.6 N

μ = fk / N

μ =  18.35 N / 166.6 N

μ = 0.11

Answer:

224 J

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Force applied = 22.4 N

distance = 10 meters

<u>Required:</u>

the work done

Step two:

The expression for the work done is

WD= force*distance

substitute

WD= 22.4*10

WD= 224 J

A rope attached to a sledge makes an angle of 40° with the ground. Calculate the tension in the rope required to produce a horiz
oksano4ka [1.4K]

let the tension force in the rope attached to the sledge be "T"

θ  = angle of rope with the horizontal = 40 deg

X = horizontal component of tension force "T" = 100 N

horizontal component of tension force "T" is given as

X = T Cosθ

100 = T Cos40

T = 130.54 N


Y = vertical component of the tension force = ?

vertical component of the tension force is given as

Y = T Sinθ

inserting the values

Y = (130.54) Sin40

Y = 83.91 N
