(c) The value of the normal force
(d)
(e) The friction force increases when the box slides and the angle between the surface and box also increases.
Explanation of Solution
Concepts
If the block slides, then kinetic frictional force is given by
Explanations:
Given Data:
In the problem (a) to (b): the box is stationary and the angle
Note: It is clear from Fig. 6-12, the angle
Formula used:
The free-body depiction for the inclined slope is provided below.
From Fig. (6-19) of the textbook and the free body diagram, we can draw:
No acceleration in the first case (from (a) to (d)) as the box is in the stationary position. Hence, acceleration is zero.
Applying Newton’s 2nd law on the y-axis:
If the block slides, the kinetic frictional force:
If it does not slide, then the magnitude of maximum static friction:
Calculations: To find the magnitude of the different forces and their nature (increasing, decreasing, or no-change) when the angle (
(a) The horizontal component of the force is
(b) If a body does not move, the static frictional force and the component parallel to the surface are equal in magnitude, and is directed opposite that component. If the component decreases,
(c) The normal component of the force is given in Eq. (1).
The normal component of the force is
(d) From Eq. (3), the magnitude of the maximum static friction will also increase as
(e) In the sliding scenario, kinetic friction force can be explained by Eq. (2). This results in an increase in the kinetic frictional force. Thus, the friction force increases when the box slides and the angle between the surface and box increases.
Conclusion
If the value of the normal force

When an object is attached to the spring's bottom end, the spring extends downward by an additional distance, d, measuring 7.50 cm. (That downward distance is relative to the unstretched position that the spring had previously held when in equilibrium, as shown by the horizontal dashed line in the figure below). Calculate the mass of the hanging object (in kg) if the spring constant k has the value 55.5 N/marrow_forwardYou are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 2.20 kg , up an incline of constant slope angle 30.0 so that it reaches a stranded skier who is a vertical distance 3.10 m above the bottom of the incline. There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10−2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s2 . Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed v that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier. Express your answer numerically, in meters per second.arrow_forward

How does the new maximum height h, which the block would reach, compare to the height h1? Note: Height h2 is measured from the same reference level as height h1. a) It is not possible to compare the heights without more information. b) The height h2 would be the same as the height h1 c) The height h2 would be less than the height h1 d) The height h2 would be greater than the height h1arrow_forwardA 55.5-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.48 m across the floor by a force P whose magnitude is 177 N.
