Solution: Given Data: The Mass of The Block Is: The Coefficient of Friction Is: The Angle of Inclination of The Plane With The Horizontal Is
Given Data:
*The angle of inclination of the plane with the horizontal is:
The value of the friction force acting parallel to the inclined plane in downward
direction can be calculated as:
F R
0.5 679.656 N
=339.828 N
Take the sum of all the forces parallel to the inclined plane (forces acting
upwards are taken positive and forces acting downwards are negative:
F parallel 0
P cos 20 200 cos 30 0.5 R 80 9.81 sin 30 0
0.939 P 173.21 N 339.828 N + 392.4 N
0.939P = 559.02 N
P 595.34 N
Thus, the force (P) required to move the block up the inclined plane is
595.34 N.
