Help with free- body diagram with pulley

AI Thread Summary
A 5 kg block is connected to a 5.6 kg block via a rope over a frictionless pulley, with a horizontal force of 30 N applied to the 5 kg block. The system is at rest, and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are both 0.3. The discussion focuses on determining the direction of the friction force acting on the 5 kg block, which is confirmed to be upwards after a correction. The user seeks feedback on their free-body diagram to ensure all forces are accurately represented. The importance of correctly identifying contact and friction forces in free-body diagrams is emphasized.

A 5 kg block and block X are attached to a rope which passes over a pulley. A 30 N force is applied horizontally to the 5 kg block, keeping it in contact with a rough vertical space. The coefficients of static is .3 and the coefficinents kinetic is .3. The pulley is light and frictionless.

The mass of block x is set at 5.6 kg. The system is at rest. Determine the direction of the friction force acting on the 5 kg block.

I will put my diagram on a reply

Here is my diagram: Please tell me if I left out any contact force and friction. Thx

I made a mistake with the friction by putting it on the left; it should be upwards.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
