Answer:
F = 9.81 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's third le which tells us that the sum of forces on a body that remains static must be equal to one resulting from these forces in the opposite direction.
Let's perform a summation of forces on the vertical axis-y to determine the normal force N.
∑F = 0 (axis-y)
where:
m = mass = 4 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
Now we know that the frictional force can be calculated using the following equation.
f = μ*N
where:
f = friction force [N]
μ = friction coefficient = 0.25
N = normal force = 39.24 [N]
Now replacing:
Then we perform a sum of forces on the X-axis equal to zero. This sum of forces allows us to determine the minimum force to be able to move the object in a horizontal direction.
∑F = 0 (axis-x)
If the coefficient was smaller, a smaller force (F) would be needed to start the movement, this can be easily seen by replacing the value of 0.25, by smaller values, such as 0.1 or 0.05.
If the coefficient were larger, a larger force would be needed.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply an energy balance equation in each of the states to assess what their respective relationship is.
By definition the energy balance is simply given by the change between the two states:
Our states are given by
In this way the energy balance for the states would be given by,
Therefore the states of energy would be
Lowest : 0.9eV
Middle :7.5eV
Highest: 8.4eV
