Explanation / Answer

Part a

The normal force of the lake ice on the block is

Fn = F sin(theta) + mg

The friction force before sliding is

Ff = u Fn

Ff = u(Fsin(theta) + mg)

So,

the force needed to begin to displace the block is(using the static friction coefficient) is equal to the friction force

But we also know from geometry that

Fh = Fcos(theta)

Fcos(theta) = us(Fsin(theta) + mg)

Fcos(theta) = us Fsin(theta) + us mg

Fcos(theta) - us Fsin(theta) = us mg

F(cos theta - ussin theta) = usmg

F = usmg/(cos theta - ussin theta)

F = smg / (cos theta - ssintheta)

= 0.1*44*9.8/(cos 25 degree - 0.1* sin 25 degree)

= 50 N

Part b

Now, with a force of 50 N what is the acceleration with coefficient of friction at 0.03

So, the net force Fa accelerating the block is the total horizontal force minus the friction force

Fa = Fh - Ff

Fa = Fcostheta - uk(Fsin theta + mg)

As Fa = ma

ma = Fcos theta - uk(Fsin theta + mg)

a = Fcos theta - uk(Fsin theta + mg) / m

= (50*cos 25 degree - 0.03*(50*sin 25 degree + 44*9.8))/44

= 0.72 m/s^2
