  1. P

    Direction of the force on the ramp due to the sliding block

    I finally got the answer and it was perpendicular to the block (the normal force) and straight down (gravity) ! thank you so much for the help!
  2. P

    Direction of the force on the ramp due to the sliding block

    so I tried the answer of the direction opposint the direction of friction and that was not correct, i am not sure as to what i should do to try and figure this out

    Direction of the force on the ramp due to the sliding block

    there is a coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.20 and i had thought that the frictional force for the ramp would be in the direction that the block is sliding and the frictional force on the block would be in the other way but that doesn't seem to be the case

    Direction of the force on the ramp due to the sliding block

    How do you find the direction of force on a ramp due to a sliding block I thought it would be in the direction of theta on the triangle but that wasnt correct. Thank you so much for your help!
