QUESTION 2
Problem
The coefficient of friction between blocks is us = 0.4, at what angle will the block start sliding if it is initially at rest?
to
Solution
Let us obtain the net force in the axis perpendicular to the inclined plane.
By virtue of the first law of motion (equilibrium), the ner force is
2 F perpendicular =n- Fgperpendicular=
Thus, the normal force is
n= m
Cos
On the axis parallel to the inclined, the net force is
Substituting the forces, we get the following:
mg
smg
By simplifying, we get the following
tan(theta) = mus
Thus, the angle that the object will slide is:
(rounded of to the ones)
