View Full Version : physics problem: block sliding down.
A block lies on a smooth plane tilted at an angel 25.5 degrees to the horizontal with coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.17.
What is the acceleration of the block as it slides down?

How do you make a freebody diagram online??

Just make a rough picture of YOUR freebody diagram in paint (MS) and send it over. Additionally mention your reasoning and solution. You seem to be having trouble resolving forces. So for a start, forget about friction and draw all the forces on a block that is resting on an inclined plane on a piece of paper. Then draw a diagram representing the force of friction on the block as it moves down the incline.

Ha...exactly. He's probably trying to draw it on the computer (drawing on paper is easier anytime).
