Homework Statement



I HAVE PROBLEM and please help me
the question is : how can I draw free diagram mass on the wall
mass : 12kg fa : 45 angle 30 Kinetic coefficient of friction:0.25
find net f

Homework Equations



l can not draw the free diagram
fx=0 fy=ma
l don't sure l used this equation correctly

The Attempt at a Solution


yes l tried to solve but my answer is wrong
because the right answer is 80 down

welcome to pf!

hi vrdm! welcome to pf! :wink:

sorry, but i can't understand what this question is about :confused: …

can you give us some more details? :smile:​
 
hi vrdm! :smile:

the details we need are:

what is "fa"?

are 45 and 30 angles? if they are, between what lines are they the angles?

what is the 12kg? is it a ladder falling down the wall?

is the wall vertical?
 
hi vrdm! happy new year! :biggrin:

thanks for your pm …
A man holds in his hand a piece of wood in the form of cubic mass of 12 kilograms and Put it on the wallPushing force is 45 N AND IT makes an angle of 30º to the vertical if the coefficient of kinetic between the surface of the piece and the wall 0:25 find net force Affecting in a piece of wood?

fa :it means Pushing force is 45 N AND IT makes an angle of 30º to the vertical
12kg: mass of wood

the question is find Net force​

ah, now i understand! :smile:

(except, is the man pushing up at 30° to the vertical, or is he pushing down?)

ok, since the block :wink: of wood can only move up or down, the net force must be vertical

the net force will be the sum of three forces: the friction force, the weight of the block, and the vertical component of the 45N …

start by finding the friction force: that's the normal force times µk, so first you'll need the normal force, ie the horizontal component of the 45N …

what do you get? :smile:​

hi Mr.tiny-tim
and happy new year
thank you very much for help me
and i tried to answer my question

Fg : 12×9.81 = 117.7
Fk: Fn×0.25
Fn=45sin(30)=
fk=0.25×45sin30=5.6
fay=45cos30=39
39-5.6-117.7=-84
* net f is 84 down

but when l see the answer in the book is 80 down
the answer is right or wrong
THANK YOU :smile:​

your method is correct, except that in your equation 39-5.6-117.7 = -84, both your net force and your friction are downward …

if the block of wood is moving downward, then the friction must oppose that: it must be upward, which would give you 39+5.6-117.7 = -73

unfortunately, that's still not -80 :redface:

(i've tried it with 60° instead of 30°, and pushing up either up or down, but that doesn't give -80 either)

sorry, but i can't see what's wrong :confused:​
 
thank you for help me to answer my question
and may be the answer in the book is wrong
thank you too much
