Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a pulley system with a box on a slope and a hanging mass. The original poster seeks to determine the acceleration of the system, given a coefficient of kinetic friction.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the nature of the problem, referencing Newton's Second Law. There are inquiries about sharing visual aids to clarify the setup, with suggestions for resizing images or using alternative formats for sharing.

Discussion Status

The conversation is ongoing, with participants exploring ways to communicate the problem visually. Some have provided guidance on image formats and resizing, but no consensus on the problem's solution has been reached yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention constraints related to file size and dimensions for image uploads, which may affect the ability to share visual representations of the problem.

What is the acceleration of the system illustrated, if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2? Assume that it starts.

The picture is a triangle with an angle of 30degrees to the horizontal. A box of 3Kg is on the slope(hypotenuse) and attached with a string, going along the slope. It is basicaly a pulley system and there is a 3kg mass hanging on the right.

This is a basic Newton's Second Law problem. If you can, why don't you scan a picture in, or draw one, and tell us what you are doing :D
 
How shall I show you?

By loading it as an attachement to one of your messages ? :confused: :wink:
 
ya but
its too big...it says I can only allow 400X400 and have less than 50Kb

Yes,i've encountered the same problem with the dimension of the files i was going to upload.And that's because they remain on the server.
Maybe another format (.gif,compressed bitmap,.jpeg) with less dimension.
 
Compression compression compression :P or just post it elsewhere and post it as a link
 
its stupid because I don't know how to resize it to another resolution...
 
Photoshop will do it.
