Answer:
b) k Δx - W cos θ - μ mg cos θ = m a , c) θ = 86.6º, d) Δx = 1.18 m
Explanation:
a) In the attachment we can see a diagram of the forces in this problem and the coordinate axes for its decomposition.
F is the force applied by the spring, while it is compressed, this force disappears when the block leaves the spring
b) Let's apply Newton's second law for when the spring is compressed
let's use trigonometry to break down the weight
sin θ = Wₓ / W
cos θ = W_y / W
Wₓ = W sin θ
W_y = W cos θ
Y axis
N - W_y = 0
N = W_y
N = W cos θ
X axis
F -Wₓ -fr = ma
the force applied by the spring is given by hooke's law
F = k Δx
friction force has the expression
fr = μ N
fr = μ W cos θ
we substitute
k Δx - W cos θ - μ mg cos θ = m a ( 1)
c) If the plane has no friction, what is the angle so that Δx = 0.1m
We write the equation 1, with fr = 0 and since the system is still a = 0
k Δx - W cos θ -0 = 0
cos θ =
cos θ =
cos θ = 0.0598
θ = cos⁻¹ 0.0598
θ = 86.6º
d) In this part they give the angle θ = 45º and there is no friction, they ask the compression
the acceleration is zero, we substitute in 1
k Δx - W cos θ - 0 = 0
Δx =
Δx =
Δx = 1.18 m
