A cart loaded with bricks has a total mass of 20.4 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope. The rope is inclined at 26.1 ◦

above the horizontal and the cart moves 20.1 m on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between ground and cart is 0.6 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the normal force exerted on the cart by the floor? Answer in units of N.

Answer:

Normal force, N = 154.5 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Total mass of the cart, m = 20.4 kg

Angle of inclination, \theta=26.1^{\circ}

Distance moved, d = 20.1 m

The coefficient of kinetic friction between ground and cart is 0.6

The value of acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let N is the normal force exerted on the cart by the floor. It is given by :

N=mg-T\ sin\theta

T\ cos\theta=\mu N

T\ cos\theta=\mu (mg-T\ sin\theta)

T\ cos(26.1)=0.6 (20.4\times 9.8-T\ sin(26.1))

T = 103.23 N

So, the normal force is :

N=20.4\times 9.8-103.23\ sin(26.1)

N = 154.5 N

So, the normal force exerted on the cart by the floor is 154.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

How are mass, distance and gpe related
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.

The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.
