AI Thread Summary
To calculate the force needed to accelerate a 35 kg mass up a 25-degree incline at 3 m/s² with a coefficient of friction of 0.11, the net force formula Fnet = ma is essential. The gravitational force acting down the incline and the frictional force must be considered in addition to the required acceleration. A free body diagram (FBD) can help visualize the forces at play. The discussion emphasizes the importance of breaking down the forces into components using sine and cosine functions. Ultimately, applying these principles will yield the necessary force calculation for the problem.

i have a question on what fromula i would need to do this problem i have been trying for thje last half hour and have come up with little to nothing

What force would be needed to accelerate a 35 kg mass up a 25 degree incline at 3 m/s/s if the coefficient of friction is .11?

i drew a FBD with triangle and the inner right triangle with sin and cos. I've tried F=ma and can't come up with anything. i need and answer very soon please, if possible.its a take home test:)

The only formula you need is Fnet = ma. What does all your work look like?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
