    How Do You Calculate the Tension in a Rope Pulling a Log Up an Inclined Ramp?

    i have come back to it. this is what i have so far. force of friction = .757*185.24 f=140.227 i got this using this formula f = mkn f = Force of Friction. mk = Coefficient of kinetic friction. n = The normal force pressing the surfaces together. however the object is still...

    How Do You Calculate the Tension in a Rope Pulling a Log Up an Inclined Ramp?

    A 212-kg log is pulled up a ramp by means of a rope that is parallel to the surface of the ramp. The ramp is inclined at 29.1° with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the log and the ramp is 0.757, and the log has an acceleration of 0.720 m/s2. Find the...
