Question

(11%) Problem 5: A contestant in a winter sporting event pulls a 44 kg block of ice in the positive horizontal direction with a rope over his shoulders across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. Assume the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are ,-0.1 andHy-0.03 25° Otheexpertta.com 50% Part (a) Calculate the minimum force F he must exert to get the block sliding in newtons.

Explanation / Answer

in vertical,

Fnet = N + Fsin25 - m g = 0

and f_max = us N


to start it move, Fcos25 - f_max= 0


F cos25 - 0.1 m g + 0.1 F sin25 = 0

F = (0.1 x 44 x 9.81) / (cos25 + 0.1 sin35)

F = 45.5 N ........Ans

(B) once it starts moving then kinetic friction will act.

fk = uk N = 0.03 ( 44x9.81 - 45.5sin25) = 12.37 N


Fnet = 45.5 cos25 - 12.37 = 44 a

a = 0.656 m/s^2
