In Fig. 6-59, block 1 of mass m1 ? 2.0 kg and block 2 of mass m2 ? 1.0 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass. Block 2 is pushed by force F of magnitude 20 N and angle u ? 35°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the horizontal surface is 0.20. What is the tension in the string? (please don't copy-paste solution)
This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The magnitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle θ is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.320. The weight of the block is 50.0 N, and the directional angle for the force F→ is θ = 49.0°. Determine the magnitude of F→ when the block slides (a) up the wall and (b) down the wall.
In the following figure m_1 = 20.0 kg and angle = 51.4 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is μ_k = 0.40.
a) What must be the mass (m_2) of the hanging block if it is to descend 13.5 m in the first 3.00 s after the system is released from rest?
