[QUOTE="Coco12, post: 4531214, member: 452522"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2]m1 has a mass of 47 kg and m2 has a mass of 35 kg. the coefficient of friction between m1 and the surface of the inclined plane are us=.42 and uk=.19 m1 is on an inclined plane angled 25 degrees A) if the masses are held in place and then released, will they start to move? B) what mass would you have to add to m2 to cause the masses to begin to move? C) what would be the acceleration of the masses after adding the additional mass? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] For a- I know the answer is no For b- made fnet equal to 0 and solved for m2. (37.8) subtracted 37.8 from 35 to get 2.8kg of additional mass [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] For c- I used fnet=ma fnet= -Ff-fparallel+m2g/m1+m2 However I didn't get the right answer which is supposed to be 5.7 m/s2 .. What am I doing wrong?? [/QUOTE]
