A box (m = 20 kg) is sliding on a horizontal surface. it is connected to a massless hook by a light string passing over a massle

ss pulley wheel. the coefficients of friction between the box and the surface are 0.80 (static) and 0.30 (kinetic). if 15 kg (in total) are placed on the hook, calculate the acceleration of the box.

mass of the box = 20 kg

force of friction on the box due to surface

F_s = \mu_s N

F_s = 0.80 * 20 * 9.8

F_s = 156.8 N

similarly kinetic friction on it

F_k = \mu_k N

F_k = 0.30* 20 * 9.8

F_k = 58.8 N

now the weight of the suspended block will be

W = mg = 15*9.8 = 147 N

so here the weight of the suspended block is less than the limiting friction on it

So here we will say that friction will counter balance the weight of the suspended block and it will not move at all

So acceleration of the box will be zero

Which statements describe Newton and the law of universal gravitation
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
