The coefficient of static friction between a 3.00 kg crate and the 35.0o incline is 0.300. What minimum force F must be applied
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

So the minimum force is

32.2Newton

Explanation:

To solve for the minimum force, let us assume it to be F (N)

So

F=mgsinA

But

=>>>> coefficient of static friction x (F + mgcosA

=>3 x 9.8 x sin35 = 0.3 x (F + 3 x 9.8 x cos35)

So making F subject of formula

F + 24.0 = 56.2

F = 32.2N

5. What is the amount of force required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 5 m/sz?
GenaCL600 [577]

Force required is 100 N

<u>Given that;</u>

Rate of acceleration = 5 m/s²

Mass of object = 20kg

<u>Find:</u>

Force required

<u>Computation:</u>

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force required = Rate of acceleration × Mass of object

Force required = 20 × 5

Force required = 100 N
