Answer:
a= 0.22 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that
M = 3.5 kg
θ = 30°
m = 1 kg
μ= 0.3
The force due to gravity
F₁= M g sinθ
F₁=3.5 x 10 x sin 30
F₁= 17.5 N
F₂ = m g
F₂ = 1 x 10 = 10 N
The maximum value of the friction force on the incline plane
Fr = μ M g cosθ
Fr = 0.3 x 2.5 x 10 cos30°
Fr= 6.49 N
Lets take acceleration of the system is a m/s²
F₁ - F₂ - Fr = (M+m) a
17.5 - 10 - 6.49 = (3.5+1)a
a= 0.22 m/s²
