91Ó°ÊÓ

A block is pushed across a floor by a constant force that is applied at downward angle θ(Fig. 6-19). Figure 6-36 gives the acceleration magnitude a versus a range of values for the coefficient of kinetic friction μkbetween block and floor: a1=3.0m/s, μk2=0.20, μk3=0.40.What is the value of θ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of an angle is60°

Step by step solution

01

Given

From the graph,

μk1=0ata1=3.0m/s2μk1=0.20ata2=0m/s2μk1=0.40ata3=-3.0m/s2

02

Determining the concept

To find the angle θ use Newton's 2nd law of motion. According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.

Formula:

Fnet=∑ma

where, F is the net force, m is mass and a is an acceleration.

Determining the magnitude of the angle θ

By using the Newton’s 2nd law along the vertical direction to the block A,(positive x axis along the right and the positive y along the vertical direction),

FN-Fsinθ-mg=0FN=Fsinθ+mg

Thus, the kinetic frictional force,

fk=μkFN=μkFsinθ+mg

Similarly, to the horizontal direct

Fcosθ-fk=maFcosθ-μkFsinθ+mg=maaFmcosθ-μksinθ-μkgAt,μk=0anda1=3.0m/s2,3.0=FmcosθAt,μk2=0.20anda2=0m/s20=Fmcosθ-0.20sinθ-0.20g0=Fmcosθ-020Fmsinθ-0.20g0=3.0-0.20Fmsinθ-0.20g (i)

From equation (i),

0.20Fmsinθ=3.0-0.20g0.203.0cosθsinθ=3.0-0.20g0.6tanθ=1.04tanθ=1.040.6=1.73θ=60°

Hence, the magnitude of an angle is60°
