Boxes are transported by a belt w/a vel. Vo to a fixed incline @ A where they slide & fall off @ B. Knowing that the coefficent of kinetic friction is u=.4 Determine the Vel. of the belt if the boxes are to have a Vel. of 0 and stop @ B.
There is a constant velocity while the boxes are on the belt, but from A to B there is friction of .4. AB is not a part of the belt, but a 15* inclined surfface.
I have tried this:
N=mgcos(theta)
Ff=uN
W=Ff(d)
Ff(d)=.5mv^2
This Gives 6.73m/s
The right answer is: 3.87m/s
