The coefficient of static friction between a 3.00 kg crate and the 35.0o incline is 0.300. What minimum force F must be applied perpendicularly to the incline to prevent the crate from sliding down

Respuesta :

Answer:

32.13 N

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the crate, m = 3 kg

angle of inclination, = 35°

coefficient of static friction, = 0.3

To solve this, we can assume that the minimum force is F Newton, then use the formula

mgsinA = coefficient of static friction * [F + mgcosA]

=>3 * 9.8 * sin35 = 0.3 * [F + 3 * 9.8 * cos35]

=> 29.4 * 0.5736 = 0.3 * [F + 29.4 * 0.8192]

=> 16.86 = 0.3 [F + 24.08]

=> 16.86 = 0.3F + 7.22

=> 16.86 - 7.22 = 0.3F

=> 0.3F = 9.64

=> F = 9.64/0.3

=> F = 32.13 N

Therefore, the Force that must be applied is 32.13 N

The  net force that must be applied is  9.8 N.

The minimum force required is Fnet.

Fnet = -Ff + mgsinθ

But Ff = μN = μmgcosθ

Fnet = - μmgcosθ + mgsinθ

Where;

m = 3.00 kg

μ =  0.300

θ = 35.0o

Substituting values;

Fnet = mgsinθ - μmgcosθ

Fnet = (3 × 10 × sin 35.0o) - (3 × 0.300  × 10 × cos  35.0o)

= 17.2 - 7.4

Fnet = 9.8 N
