Question

Block 1 (9 kg) is located on the surface of a table. A hand pushes horizontally to the right on block 1 with a normal force of 108 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface equals 0.8.
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 


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