Answer:
The frictional force between two bodies depends mainly on three factors: (I) the adhesion between body surfaces (ii) roughness of the surface (iii) deformation of bodies
as the surface area increases the rate of reaction also increases.
Explanation:
Answer:
<em>11.06m/s²</em>
Explanation:
According to Newtons second law of motion
Given
Mass m = 17kg
Fm = 208N
theta = 36 degrees
g = 9.8m/s²
a is the acceleration
Substitute
208 - 0.148(17)(9.8)cos 36 = 17a
208 - 24.6568cos36 = 17a
208 - 19.9478 = 17a
188.05 = 17a
a = 188.05/17
a = 11.06m/s²
<em>Hence the the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is 11.06m/s²</em>
Answer:
0.488 m
Explanation:
If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane
cos θ = 1.2 / 5
Tan θ = 4.04
Let the height a person of weight 600 N can climb be h from the ground .
Distance from the base point where ladder touches the floor = h / tanθ
= h / 4.04
Total reaction force = total downward force
R = 200 + 600
800 N
Frictional force = μ R
= .2 x 800
= 160 N
Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder where it touches the floor and balancing them
200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x h / tanθ = μ R x 1.2 / tanθ ( reaction at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is R₁ and
R₁ =μ R )
= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x h / tanθ = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ
120 - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52
120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04
72.48= 148.51 h
h = 0.488 m
