We show below a free-body diagram of a 1.00-kg block pulled across a surface by a string. The string's tension is T = 6 N. The string makes an angle of 37 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is u_k = 0.30. Determine the y-component of the normal force. Determine the x-component of the force of friction. ? Find the magnitude of the total force on the block. Finally, find the magnitude of the acceleration of the block.

Explanation / Answer

T = 6 N , uk = 0.3 , m = 1kg

(a) Net force along vertical direction

FN + Tsin(theta) = mg

FN +6*sin(37)= 1*9.8

FN = 6.19 N

(b) FK = uk*FN

FK = 0.3*6.19

FK = 1.86 N

(c) from Newton second law

F = -Fk +Tcos(theta)

F = -1.86 + 6*cos(37)

F = 2.93 N

(d) Net force along horizotnal direction

F = ma

2.93 = 1*a

a = 2.93 m/s^2
