7. Imagine you are pushing a 15 kg cart full of 25 kg of bottled water up a 10o ramp. If the coefficient of friction is 0.02, what is the friction force you must overcome to push the cart up the ramp

Respuesta :

Answer:

The frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

Explanation:

The frictional force can be obtained using the following formula:

[tex]F= \mu R[/tex]

where [tex]\mu[/tex] is the coefficient of friction = 0.02

R = Normal reaction of the load = [tex]mgcos\theta[/tex] = [tex]25 \times 9.81 \times cos 10[/tex] = [tex]241.52N[/tex]

Now that we have the necessary parameters that we can place into the equation, we can now go ahead and make our substitutions, to get the value of F.

[tex]F=0.02 \times 241.52N[/tex]

F = 4.83 N

Hence, the frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N
