Problem F

There is slope at an angle of 30 degrees. A block of mass M is pulled up y

along the slope. Let the force F be at an additional angle to the slope of 30 30
M
degrees. Let the normal force be N, and the frictional force be f.
x
(a) Write the equations of motion of block on each x and y axis using
M, g, f, N. 30

(b) When M=1kg, g=10m/s 2 , F=23N, and the coefficient of kinetic friction k 0.1 , find the
amount of normal force N, frictional force f and x direction acceleration a x .

(c) When M=1kg, g=10m/s 2 , and the coefficient of static friction s =0.25, how much force is need
block to go up? (you dont need to calculate 3).
