Question

A block with mass m = 5.00kg slides down a surface inclined 36.9 ? to the horizontal (the figure (Figure 1) ). The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26. A string attached to the block is wrapped around a flywheel on a fixed axis at O. The flywheel has mass 21.0kg and moment of inertia 0.500 kg?m2 with respect to the axis of rotation. The string pulls without slipping at a perpendicular distance of 0.350m from that axis.

a) What is the acceleration of the block down the plane? (Answer in m/s^2)

b) What is the tension in the string? (Answer in N)

Explanation / Answer

m g + T + R = m a (vectors)
m g sin36.9
