Question

The 20-kg crate is subjected to a force having a constant direction and a magnitude F = 100 N. When s = 15 m, the crate is moving to the right with a speed of 8 m/s. Determine its speed when s = 25 m. The coefficient h of kinetic friction between the crate and the ground is mu _k = 0.25. Based on this above 14.1 quiestion, please solve the problem writen bellow. (i) solve the speed when s = 25m (ii) If the velocity is changed to 4 m/s, analyse the force required to achieved the same speed calculated in (i)

Explanation / Answer

1)

Normal reaction on block

N = mg-Fsin30 = mg -0.5F

so net force o block

Fcos30 - u N = ma

ma = Fcos30 - 0.25 mg +0.5x0.25F

ma = Fcos30 + 0.5x0.25F -0.25mg

a = 2.505 m/s^2

velocity at s = 25 m

V^2 u^2 = 2a(25-15)

u = 8

substituting we get

V = 10.68 m/s

b)

we have final and initail velocities

so

we can get a

V^2 - 4^2 = 2a x 10

a = 4.9 m/sec^2

from above equation we have

ma = Fcos30 + 0.5x0.25F -0.25mg

substituting a we get

F = 148.434 N
