Question

roblem 7.39 Part A Figure shows a block of mass m resting on a 20° slope. The block has ooeflientsoffriction :082 and "0.53 with the surface. It is connected via a massless string over a massless frictionless pulley to a hanging block of mass 2.0 kg. Figure 1) What is the minimum mass m that will stck and not slip? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. mValueUnits Submit My Answers Give Up Part B If this minimum mass is nudged ever so sighty, it will start being pulled up the incline.

Explanation / Answer

here,

theta = 20 degree

us = 0.82 , uk = 0.53

a)

as the accelration is zero

a = net force /effective mass

0 = ( 2 * g - m * g * sin(theta) - us * m * g * cos(theta)) /(m + 2)

0 = ( 2   - m *sin(20) - 0.82 * m *cos(20))

solving for m

m = 1.8 kg

b)

for the block to just move

we use the cofficient of kinetic friction

accelration , a = net force /effective mass

a = ( 2 * g - m * g * sin(theta) - uk * m * g * cos(theta)) /(m + 2)

a = ( 2 * 9.81 - 1.8 * 9.81 * sin(20) - 0.53 * 9.81 * cos(20)) /(1.8 + 2) m/s^2

a = 2.29 m/s^2

the accelration is 2.29 m/s^2
