Answer:
P= 454.11 N
Explanation:
Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).
The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:
In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:
The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 9/3 = <em>3 m/s²</em> .
His mass makes no difference.
Fortunately, 'force' is a vector. So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.
When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward. Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.
(100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)
= (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)
= 50 N forward .
That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?
Hey There!
When the gas temperature decreases the volume decreases too.
Thank You!
