5.) Two 10-kilogram boxes are connected by a massless string that passes over a
massless frictionless pulley as shown above. The boxes remain at rest, with the
one on the right hanging vertically and the one on the left 2.0 meters from the
bottom of an inclined plane that makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. The
coefficients of kinetic friction and static friction between the left-hand box and
A
the plane are 0.15 and 0.30, respectively. You may use g = 10 m/s², sin 60° = 0.87,
and cos 60° = 0.50.

b. On the diagram below, draw and label all the forces acting on the box that is on
the plane.
c. Determine the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the box on the plane.

- 2) Suppose you put an object on an inclined slope and let go. If there is enough friction between the object and the surface of the slope, it might not go anywhere. This can be important when figuring out what kind of tires you need so you don't slip on an icy hill! Whether there is friction or not, it is useful to be able to write the gravitational force acting on the object as the sum of two perpendicular vectors: one parallel to the surface of the slope, and one perpendicular to the surface of the slope. For this series of questions, suppose the inclined slope is fixed at an angle of 30° and the object has a mass of 3 kg, as shown in the diagram. 30° 3 kg. a) Gravitational force has a magnitude equal to an object's mass times acceleration due to gravity, and a direction of "straight down."
