(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
