1.) A student moves a box of books down the hall by pulling on a rope attached to a box up a ramp. The student pulls with a force of 185N at an angle of 25Β° above the horizontal. The box has a mass of 35kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.27. Find the acceleration of the box. 2.) The student in item 1 above moves the box up a ramp inclined at 12Β° with the horizontal. If the box starts from rest at the bottom of the ramp and is pulled at an angle of 25Β° with respect to the incline and with the same 185N force, what is the acceleration up the ramp?

Respuesta :

For the problems presented, the answer would be the following:

1. Givens are:

Θ – 25 degrees

Β΅ = 0.27Β 

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2

Answer would be a = 2.14 m/sec^2.

2. Givens are:

N = 257.32 newtonsΒ 

f = 0.27(257.32)Β 

f = 69.48 NΒ 

Answer would be a = 2.80 m/sec^2Β 

I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your queries about these specific questions.
