Question
In the figure, two wooden blocks each of 0, 19 kg mass are connected by a string that passes over a very light frictionless pulley. One block slides on a horizontal table, while the other hangs suspended by the string, as shown in the figure. At time t = 0, the suspended block is 0, 8 m over the floor, and the blocks arc released from rest. After 2, 3 s, the suspended block reaches the floor. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the sliding block? Answer in two decimal places.Explanation / Answer
let a be the acceleration of the masses
for B
y = voy*t+ (1/2)*a*t^2
0.8 = 0 + (1/2)*a*2.3^2
a = 0.302 m/s^2
for mass A
along horizontal
Fnet= mA*a
T - uk*mA*g = mA*a .......(1)
for mass B
mB*g - T = mB*a ........(2)
adding 1 +2
mB*g - uk*mA*g = a*(mA+mB)
0.19*9.8 - (uk*0.19*9.8) = 0.302*(0.19+0.19)
uk = 0.938 <<<<<<---------answer
