The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>
The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity. This means gravity makes the Moon accelerate all the time, even though its speed remains constant.
We need to see what forces act on the box:
In the x direction:
Fh-Ff-Gsinα=ma, where Fh is the horizontal force that is pulling the box up the incline, Ff is the force of friction, Gsinα is the horizontal component of the gravitational force, m is mass of the box and a is the acceleration of the box.
In the y direction:
N-Gcosα = 0, where N is the force of the ramp and Gcosα is the vertical component of the gravitational force.
From N-Gcosα=0 we get:
N=Gcosα, we will need this for the force of friction.
Now to solve for Fh:
Fh=ma + Ff + Gsinα,
Ff=μN=μGcosα, this is the friction force where μ is the coefficient of friction. We put that into the equation for Fh.
G=mg, where m is the mass of the box and g=9.81 m/s²
Fh=ma + μmgcosα+mgsinα
Now we plug in the numbers and get:
Fh=6*3.6 + 0.3*6*9.81*0.8 + 6*9.81*0.6 = 21.6 + 14.1 + 35.3 = 71 N
The horizontal force for pulling the body up the ramp needs to be Fh=71 N.
