Homework Statement


I Have two questions one of them i just can't start it, I don't understand what it is I'm supposed to set up or how.

A Block is shoved up a 22 degree slope with an initial velocity of 1.4 m/s the coefficient of friction is .70 how far up the slope will the block make it? once stopped will it slide back down?


Homework Equations


Fg = mg
Fa = ma
4 kinematic equations?

The Attempt at a Solution



well i drew out my FBD and i have tried

Fg(incline) = mgSin(22)
Fn = mgCos(22)
Ffr = (Mu)mgCos(22)

And from there... I'm stuck, i do however have no idea how i can solve this i tried doing

m(-9.81)(Sin(22)) = -(.70)(-9.81)(Cos(22))m

but mass cancels and your ending up with no unit's which I Am assuming is incorrect, i just don't know what equations i need to set up for this problem :(



Homework Statement


Problem 2
A washing machine’s drum is rotating rapidly (about its vertical axis). A wet sock is stuck on the inside, halfway up
the drum. The drum begins to slow its rotation. How many rotations per second is the drum making when the sock falls to
the bottom of the drum? The coefficient of friction between the sock and the drum is 0.13, and the drum radius is 0.35 m.

Homework Equations



ac = v^2/r

The Attempt at a Solution



Circum. = 2.166
all i really want to know is am i correct in saying

mg=(mu)mv2/r

if not, i will reattempt, at least using that my mass is not needed :)

Apply Newton's 2nd law to solve for the acceleration: ΣF = ma.

That is a correct statement of the condition for the sock to fall.
