[solved] Forces and friction
Hi guys :]
A box (A) slides up a ramp due to the mass of the attached box (B).
Given the acceleration and ramp length, determine the force of tension and force of kinetic friction.
Fnet=ma
Fg=mg
I only got as far as finding the Fnet by multiplying the combined masses and given acceleration. Where do I go from here?
I don't need numerical values, just.. can someone enlighten me on how I should approach this question, so I can find the kinetic friction and tension forces?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks !
