Homework Statement
A flat-bed truck with a frictionless ramp accelerates forward.
/l (That 35 is the angle, and a 5kg block rests on the hypotenuse)
--- / l
- - /35 l
- ---------------
-----------------
-o-----------0--
The acceleration of the truck is suck that a 5.0kg block is stationary (relative to the ramp). If the rolling coefficient of friction is (mew=0.10) Find the force the engine is exerting on the 12000kg truck.
Homework Equations
F=ma, Ffriction=Fnormal*mew
The Attempt at a Solution
I found the block accelerates 9.8m/s^2 downwards and 13.98m/s^2 to the left, ant the total acceration is 17.1m/s^2
