Question

Block 1 (6 kg) is located on the surface of a table. A hand pushes horizontally to the right on block 1 with a normal force of 42 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface equals 0.4.
On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagram for block 1 using the two-subscript notation from class. After completing the free body diagram, enter below each force and its x & y-components. Remember that the x-component is the "i" component and the y-component is the "j" component.

FORCES on BLOCK 1
Weight force on block 1 by Earth
W1E =  i +  j N

Normal force on block 1 by Surface
N1S =  i +  j N

Normal force on block 1 by Hand
N1H =  i +  j N

Frictional force on block 1 by Surface
f1S =  i +  j N

  Tries 0/2  



What is the acceleration a of block 1?
a =  i +  j m/s2
