Sounds like a homework problem to me. In the absence of friction, what happens to the velocity of an object subjected to a constant force? In this problem, you are told that the box is being pulled by a constant applied force, but its velocity is constant. What does that tell you? The constant applied force is not directed exactly along the direction of motion. How might you resolve this force into two components - one directed along the direction of motion, and the other perpendicular to it? |

The equations are Sum(Fx's)==> 0 = N - 500*sin(15) - 1550 Sum(Fy's)==> 0 = MuF*N - 500*cos(15) where MuF is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force. When you solve this system of eqn's N = 1420.59N and MuF = .3399 ~ .34. This was the easiest physics question ever. You should try harder. |
