Bh a 2223N 45kg & = 4.9 mist Statement: The acceleration when puling the crate is 4.9 mist Sample Problem 2: Overcoming Static Friction ‘crate is placed on an inclined board as shown in Figure 5. (One end ofthe board is hinged so thatthe angle @is adjustable. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the board [s 0.30, Determine the angle at which the crate just begins to sip hinge 2s Figure 5 Given: 1s ~ 0.30 Required: @ ‘Analysis: The force of static friction on the crate can be as large as F, = gh, Where Fy is the normal force. First draw the FBD of the crate. Then calculate the normal force using the y-components. Then calculate the angle @ using the x-components and the fact that the abject isin equilibrium: Solution: ‘Sample Problem Figure 6 shows two blocks joined witha rope that runs over pulley. The mass of m, Is 5.0 kg, and the incline is 35°. The coefficient of static friction between m, and the incined plane is 0.25, Determine the largest mass for m, such that both blocks remain at rest ni ae 88 Chapter 2+ Dynamics (6) Statement: The worker should pull the erate because pulling decreases the normal force on the crate. Consequently, the force of friction is less, which Produces a greater acceleration 3h, = +h + CF,c0s 0) 0= Fy F,cos Fy = Fos A= ashi ssl F 0s ) Fe = nsFyc080 2A= +hsine — 0= Ashe — Fsine =F Resin = yaF;cos0 sino wean sind te = tano and = ns @ = tans = tar1(030) air ‘Statement: The angle at which the crate just begins to slip is 17 alculating Mass in Friction Problems Given: m, Required: m, ‘Analysis: Draw an FBD ofthe situation, As long as the blocks are at rest, the tension in the rope Is equal tothe force of gravity on My Fe = Fa = mo. Now consider m, To remain at rest, the net force must also be zero, First, use the y-components to determine the normal force; then use the x-components to calculate m, 5.0 kg; 6 = 35%; ws = 0.25
