A box with a mass of 70 kg sits on a slope of 40 degrees. you are tasked with pushing the box up the slope. the static (stationa

ry) coefficient of friction between the box and the slope is 0.55, and the kinematic (while moving) coefficient of friction is 0.35.
a. what is the minimum force required to keep the box from slipping?
b. what is the minimum force required to begin pushing the box up the slope?
c. what is the minimum force required to maintain the box moving up the slope?
d. what is the force required to accelerate the box up the slope at 0.65 m/s2 once it is already moving upwards? give your answers in newtons (n).

PART a)

Force of friction on the box is given by formula

F_f = \mu mg cos\theta

F_f = 0.55 * 70 * 9.8 * cos40

F_f = 289 N

now the component of weight along the inclined

F_g = mgsin40

F_g = 70*9.8 * sin40

F_g = 441 N

now by force balance the force required to hold the block

F_{net} = F_g - F_f

F_{net} = 441 - 289 = 152 N

Part b)

to slide the block upwards the friction force will be upwards along the plane

F = F_g + F_f

F = 441 + 289 = 730 N

Part c)

Kinetic friction on the block is given by

F_k = \mu_k mg cos\theta

F_k = 0.35 * 70 * 9.8 * cos40

F_k = 184 N

now in order to move it up

F = F_g + F_k

F = 441 + 184

F = 625 N

Part d)

now to accelerate upwards by 0.65 m/s^2 we can use

F - F_g - F_k = ma

F - 441 - 184 = 70* 0.65

F = 670.5 N

Two ships leave a harbor at the same time, traveling on courses that have an angle of 110∘ between them. If the first ship trave
Allushta [10]

Answer:

49.07 miles

Explanation:

Angle between two ships = 110° = θ

First ship speed = 22 mph

Second ship speed = 34 mph

Distance covered by first ship after 1.2 hours = 22×1.2 = 26.4 miles = b

Distance covered by second ship after 1.2 hours = 34×1.2 = 40.8 miles = c

Here the angle between the two sides of a triangle is 110° so from the law of cosines we get

a² = b²+c²-2bc cosθ

⇒a² = 26.4²+40.8²-2×26.4×40.8 cos110

⇒a² = 2408.4

⇒a = 49.07 miles
