Alright, after spending about 8 hours trying to figure this question out, googling, flipping thru my textbook, asking all my friends, I've finally got it (with some help from the online version of my textbook-- I had to piece together several different problems to get this).
Recognizing that...
Thank you.
I have drawn a free body diagram.
There is a Push force which is exerting some negative vertical force, some positive horizontal force (this is at a 37 degree angle).
There is a frictional force pointing in the negative x direction.
There is mg (73N as specified in the...
Homework Statement
A crate is pushed at constant velocity across a rough, horizontal surface by a push force P. The crate has a weight of 73N. Coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41. Vector force P points at an angle of 37 degrees below the horizontal. What...
