A box with the mass m = 25 kg is sliding up a hill

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the physics of a 25 kg box sliding up a hill under the influence of a horizontal wind force of 50 N. Participants clarify that the wind's force has both horizontal and vertical components affecting the box's motion. The importance of accurately representing forces in free body diagrams (FBD) is emphasized, particularly regarding the wind's impact on the slope. Users are encouraged to provide clearer diagrams and equations to facilitate better understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Familiarity with free body diagrams (FBD)
  • Knowledge of force components in physics
  • Basic trigonometry for calculating angles and slopes
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the effects of wind forces on inclined planes
  • Learn how to construct and interpret free body diagrams (FBD)
  • Explore the concept of force components in physics
  • Review the application of Newton's laws in real-world scenarios
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators teaching mechanics, and anyone interested in the dynamics of objects on slopes influenced by external forces.

Homework Statement
A box with the mass m = 25 kg is sliding with starting speed of V0=7m/s up a hill that has the angle Θ=12°. there is a steady wind blowing with a horizontal force of Fv = 50N. The coefficient of friction is µk = 0.18.
Relevant Equations
a) What is the force that works on the box from the hill?
b) What distance, L, does the box slide up the hill before it stops?
c) What does the coefficient of friction need to be at the lowest so the box doesn´t slide back down the hill*
What I have already attempted is on my Ipad and I don't know how to upload it on here.
With hope of help

Which way?

Upp the hill (with the box)

You mean to say that there is an uphill component. The 50 N wind is horizontal.
 
If the wind is blowing down a slope, I guess it can't be horizontal.

Blowing horizontally into the slope is perhaps more precise than up the slope.

yeah that's what I meant sorry

sorry the uphill component is only for the box, the box is moving to the right towards the hill and the wind is moving horizontal in the same direction as the box.

yeah what i meant to say is blowing horizontally into the slope.

This is what I did. What do you guys think?

Here is a pdf probably better to view that

##6.5m## looks like the distance without the wind blowing.

ah that's right i forgot to add that in thank you so much :)

Same for part c). ##\mu = \tan \theta ## is the calculation without the wind.

I'm not quite sure how to work the wind into the equation. Any hints for it?

It's a force like any other.

See post #5.

This is too hard to read. The subscripts are illegible and the thumbnail sketch FBD far too small. Draw decently sized diagrams and type equations.
Don't forget the wind force has a component normal to the slope.
