Question
(a) A box is placed on an frictionless inclined plane with an angle of 34
A box is placed on an frictionless inclined plane with an angle of 34 degree from the horizontal. The box has a mass of 32 kg, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box along the inclined plane? What magnitude of force would you need to apply to the box in order to keep it at rest? Assume there is no friction and the force applied is parallel to the ground. I'm having trouble on this second part. Please help me! Every answer I've figured out has been wrong.Explanation / Answer
a) acceleration = a = g * sin(theta) = 9.81 * 0.559 = 5.485 m/s^2
b) force = m* a = 175.54 N
