A slide-loving pig slides down a certain35slide in twice the time it would take to slide down a frictionless35slide.What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pig and the slide?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5251

Step by step solution

01

Write the given information:

Angle of the slide,=35o

Consider the time required to slide on frictionless surface is t.

So, the required time for the surface with friction is t'=2t

02

Determining the formulas for the law of motion as:

Use Newton's 2nd law of motion and kinematic equations 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鈥.. (i)

Here, F is the net force, mis mass and ais an acceleration.

s=v0t+12at2鈥︹ (ii)

03

Determinethe coefficient of kinetic friction

Case(1):(Consider surface is frictionless)

According to the Newton鈥檚 2nd law of motion along x direction(pig is moving along x so consider its acceleration is a), the equation (i) can be written as,

Fx=maxfs-Mgsin=Ma

Since, surface is frictionlessfs=0N

Thus,a=-gsin

This is the acceleration of a pig on a frictionless surface.

Case(2):Consider the surface is frictional.

Fx=maxfs-Mgsin=Ma'kMgcos-Mgsin=Ma'a'=kgcos-gsin

This is the acceleration of a pig on a friction surface.

Distance is constant in both cases i.e. with friction and without friction is same so by usingequation (ii),

s=v0t+12at2

Distance travelled on frictionless surface is same as Distance travelled on frictional surface

v0t+12at2=v0t'+12a't'2

Since the pig is at rest initially, the above equation can be written as,

0t+12at2=02t+12a'(2t)212at2=12a'(2t)2a=4a'-gsin=4kgcos-gsin

Substitute the values and solve as:

k=3sin4cos=0.525

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is0.5251

Two blocks, of weights 3.6 Nand 7.2 N, are connectedby a massless string and slide down a30inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lighter block and the plane is 0.10, and the coefficient between the heavier block and the plane is 0.20. Assuming that the lighter block leads, find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks and (b) the tension in the taut string.
