Equate through forces, you don't even need to bring in the variable ##μ##
What do you mean by "planar with the ground"? The f=N*meu formula has conditions? I thought it could be applied to any situation.Suraj M said:How did you get your coefficient of friction to be 1/5?
It's not planar with the ground hence you can't just take 2/10 you have to take their components
Thank you, the answer matched. However I do not completely understand why my initial method did not give me the same answer.cnh1995 said:Which force will pull the block down and which force will oppose the motion? Draw FBD. As Suraj said earlier, you don't need μ.
Not conditions Priyadarshini, your normal force is ?Priyadarshini said:What do you mean by "planar with the ground"? The f=N*meu formula has conditions? I thought it could be applied to any situation.
Ohhh. I see! Thank you!Suraj M said:Not conditions Priya, your normal force is ?
You've taken 2/10
That denominator is the normal acceleration right? But that's not the normal acceleration in this case because the plane is not parallel to the ground
So you'll have to take a component of this.
FBD please
PS- Look at us 3 Indians :-) sorry off subject- ignore this
Sorry my bad, down here we just omit the "darshini"Priyadarshini said:Ohhh. I see! Thank you!
Haha, true. The name is Priyadarshini by the way, not Priya.
None taken, a lot of people do that.Suraj M said:Sorry my bad, down here we just omit the "darshini"
No offence, force of habit
Hope you got your answer[emoji106]
Frictional force is a force that resists motion between two surfaces in contact. It is caused by roughness and irregularities on the surfaces, and it acts in the opposite direction of the intended motion.
Frictional force is calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction (a measure of how easily two surfaces slide past each other) by the normal force (the force that the surfaces exert on each other due to their weight or other external forces).
Some real-life examples of frictional force include walking on the ground, rubbing your hands together, and using brakes on a bike or car to slow down or stop.
Frictional force can be reduced by using lubricants such as oil or grease, making surfaces smoother, or using wheels and bearings to reduce direct contact between two surfaces.
The effects of frictional force include the generation of heat, which can cause wear and tear on surfaces, and the reduction of speed and efficiency in systems that rely on motion.
