A snowboarder and his board with a combined mass of 50.0 kg moving at 9.50 m/s are about to go up an incline of angle 34.9 degrees, but due to friction only make it up a vertical height of 2.00 m. What was the coefficient of friction?
Two blocks rest on frictionless inclines and are connected by a lightweight string that passes over a pulley of negligible mass. The masses of the blocks are M=3.4kg with an angle incline of 20 degrees and the second block is m=2.6kg with an incline angle of 40 degrees. Find the acceleration of the blocks and tension in the string.
A 10-lb block B rests as shown on a 20-lb bracket A. The coefficients of friction are μs= 0.30 and uk = 0.25 between block B and bracket A , and there is no friction in the pulley or between the bracket and the horizontal surface. (a) Determine the maximum weight of block C if block B is not to slide on bracket A.(b) If the weight of block C is 10 percent larger than the answer found in a, determine the accelerations of A, B, and C.
