Answer:
The tension in the rope is 229.37 N.
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the block is,
Coefficient of static friction is,
Angle of inclination is, °
Draw a free body diagram of the block.
From the free body diagram, consider the forces in the vertical direction perpendicular to inclined plane.
Forces acting are and normal
. Now, there is no motion in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane. So,
Consider the direction along the inclined plane.
The forces acting along the plane are and frictional force,
, down the plane and tension,
, up the plane.
Now, as the block is at rest, so net force along the plane is also zero.
Therefore, the tension in the rope is 229.37 N.
