SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on a physics problem involving a 27.0 kg box on a 35-degree incline, connected to a 25.0 kg bucket via a pulley. The static friction coefficient is 0.650, and the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.490. The applied friction force is calculated to be 152N, while the friction force acting on the box is estimated at 93N. The participants seek to determine the net acceleration of the box and whether it remains at rest relative to the ramp.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Basic knowledge of friction coefficients
  • Familiarity with pulley systems and their mechanics
  • Ability to perform vector resolution of forces on inclined planes
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate the net force acting on the box using free-body diagrams
  • Learn about the equations of motion for objects on inclined planes
  • Explore the effects of static and kinetic friction in detail
  • Study the dynamics of pulley systems in physics
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics, as well as educators and tutors looking for practical examples of inclined plane problems and pulley systems.

Homework Statement


Mass of box: 27.0 kg
mass of bucket attached to pulley: 25.0 kg
incline:35 degrees
static friction:.650
kinetic friciton: .490

Okay, there is a box on an incline. The box is attached to a pulley. A bucket is attached to the other end of the pulley. The bucket is going straight down
Its actually a few questions. What is the applied force on the box? What is the friction exerted on the box by the ramp? Does the box remain at rest relative to the ramp? What is the net acceleration on the box?



The Attempt at a Solution


Okay i figured out that the applied friction is 152N. and the friction force is 93N (i think).
I just know where to start to find the rest.
