Question

draw a vector daigram of a mass m resting on inclinded plane making an angle 0 with respect to the hortizontal. write an expression
A) the force accelerating the object down the plane b) the frictional force if the coefficient of friction is Mu draw a vector daigram of a mass m resting on inclinded plane making an angle 0 with respect to the hortizontal. write an expression
A) the force accelerating the object down the plane b) the frictional force if the coefficient of friction is Mu A) the force accelerating the object down the plane b) the frictional force if the coefficient of friction is Mu

Explanation / Answer

The force down the plane is the component of the weight down the plane.

That is...

F = mgsin(angle)

The frictional force is based on the normal force such that Ff = uFn

Fn on an incline = mgcos(angle)

Thus Frictional Force = umgcos(angle)
