22:28:15 gen phy and principles of phy 4.36: If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .30, how much force is required to push a 35 lb crate across the floor at constant speed?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> n/a
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
22:28:19 If the crate is moving then the force exerted by friction is .30 times the normal force between it and the floor. If the push is horizontal, then the only horizontal forces acting on the crate are the downward force of gravity and the upward force exerted by the floor. Since the crate is not accelerating in the vertical direction, these forces are equal and opposite so the normal force is equal to the 35 lb weight of the crate. The frictional force is therefore f = .30 * 35 lb = 10.5 lb.

22:28:23 gen phy 4.55 18 kg box down 37 deg incline from rest, accel .27 m/s^2. what is the friction force and the coefficient of friction?

22:28:36 GOOD STUDENT SOLUTION: (I don't know why, but I was hoping you would pick an odd numbered problem here)Here goes.....For an 18kg box on an incline of 37 degrees with an acceleration of .270 m/s/s, I first drew out a diagram showing the forces involved. Next the forces had to be derived. First, to find the force associated with the weight component parrallel to the inline moving the box downward....Fp=sin 37 deg(18kg)(9.8m/s/s)=106N. Next, the Normal force that is counter acting the mg of the box is found by.. Fn=cos 37 deg. (18kg)(9.8 m/s/s) = 141N. The frictional force can be found by using F=(mass)(acceleration) where (Net Force)-(frictional coeffecient*Normal Force)=(m)(a) so that... 106N - (141N * Friction Coeff.) = (18kg)(.270 m/s/s) where by rearranging, the frictional coeffecient is seen to be .717. INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: Good solution. Note that you should specify an x axis oriented down the incline, so that the acceleration will be positive. The weight vector being vertical in the downward direction is therefore in the fourth quadrant, at an angle of 37 degrees with respect to the negative y axis. Thus the weight vector makes angle 270 deg + 37 deg = 307 deg with the positive x axis and its x and y components are wtx = 18 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(307 deg) = 106 N and wty = 18 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(307 deg) = -141 N. You get the same results using the sin and cos of the 37 deg angle. The only other y force is the normal force and since the mass does not accelerate in the y direction we have normal force + (-141 N) = 0, which tells us that the normal force is 141 N. This also agrees with your result. **

22:45:48 Univ. 5.90 (5.86 10th edition). 4 kg and 8 kg blocks, 30 deg plane, coeff .25 and .35 resp. Connected by string. Accel of each, tension in string. What if reversed?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> First we can calculate the normal force of the slope for each block. The normal force can be found by taking mg*cos(theta). For the 4kg block this is 33.95 and for the 8 kg it is 67.90. We now have to take into account the friction so we multiply each by the respective coefficient. Which leaves the 4 kg at 25.5 and the 8 kg at 44.1. Now we use a=g sin theta to find accelerations. Both are 4.9 m/s^2. The tension on the string is T=m(g+a), 12(9.8+4.9)=176.4 N

22:59:38 ** We will use the direction down the incline as the positive direction in all the following: The normal forces on the two blocks are 4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(30 deg) = 34 N, approx., and 8 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(30 deg) = 68 N, approx. If sliding the 4 kg block will therefore experience frictional resistance .25 * 34 N = 8.5 N, approx. and the 8 kg block a frictional resistance .35 * 68 N = 24 N, approx. The gravitational components down the incline are 4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(30 deg) = 19.6 N and 8 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(30 deg) = 39.2 N. If the blocks were separate the 4 kg block would experience net force 19.6 N - 8.5 N = 11.1 N down the incline, and the 8 kg block a net force of 39.2 N - 24 N = 15.2 N down the incline. The accelerations would be 11.1 N / (4 kg) = 2.8 m/s^2, approx., and 15.2 N / (8 kg) = 1.9 m/s^2, approx. If the 4 kg block is higher on the incline than the 8 kg block then the 4 kg block will tend to accelerate faster than the 8 kg block and the string will be unable to resist this tendency, so the blocks will have the indicated accelerations (at least until they collide). If the 4 kg block is lower on the incline than the 8 kg block it will tend to accelerate away from the block but the string will restrain it, and the two blocks will move as a system with total mass 12 kg and net force 15.2 N + 11.1 N = 26.3 N down the incline. The acceleration of the system will therefore be 26.3 N / (12 kg) = 2.2 m/s^2, approx.. In this case the net force on the 8 kg block will be 8 kg * 2.2 m/s^2 = 17.6 N, approx.. This net force is the sum of the tension T, the gravitational component m g sin(theta) down the incline and the frictional resistance mu * N: Fnet = T + m g sin(theta) - mu * N so that T = Fnet - m g sin(theta) + mu * N = 17.6 N - 39.2 N + 24 N = 2.4 N approx., or about 2.4 N directed down the incline. The relationship for the 4 kg mass, noting that for this mass T 'pulls' back up the incline, is Fnet = m g sin(theta) - T - mu * N so that T = -Fnet + m g sin(theta) - mu * N = -8.8 N + 19.6 N - 8.5 N = -2.3 N. equal within the accuracy of the mental approximations used here to the result obtained by considering the 8 kg block and confirming that calculation. **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok I made the mistake of substracting the answer I got from multiplying the friction forces to obtain a value rather than just using that value itself. Ok I didnt calculate the gravitational component down the incline, but this would be done by taking the sin theta and multiplying by weight of each object. Then after subtracting the normal force you can use F=ma to find the accelerations. Ok since the 4 kg block would be faster it would collide with the 8 kg if the 4 kg were placed on the top. If the other way around we can calculate a total net force from the subtractions earlier and add these together. Then use F=ma for the entire system (mass being 12 kg now). If the system is moving at this acceleration we can use F=ma to find the Force of 17.6.
