The weight of a block on the inclined plane is 500 N and the angle of incline is 30 degrees. What is the magnitude of the force
of friction for static equilibrium? What is the normal force of the surface pushing up on the block?
1 answer:
Answer:
250 N
433 N
Explanation:
N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane
W = Weight of the block = 500 N
f = static frictional force acting on the block
Parallel to incline, force equation is given as
f = W Sin30
f = (500) Sin30
f = 250 N
Perpendicular to incline force equation is given
N = W Cos30
N = (500) Cos30
N = 433 N

Answer:
x = 25 / μ [ ft]
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we can use Newton's second law.
Let's set a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the road
Y axis
N_B + N_A - W_van - W_load = 0
N_B + N_A = W_van + W_load
X axis
fr = ma
a = fr / m
the total mass is
m = (W_van + W_load) / g
the friction force has the expression
fr = μ N_{total}
fr = μy (W_van + W_load)
we substitute
a = μ (W_van + W_load)
a = μ g
taking the acceleration let's use the kinematic relations where the final velocity is zero
v² = v₀² - 2 a x
0 = v₀² -2a x
x =
x =
x =
x = 25 / μ [ ft]
