AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the acceleration of a system involving a 3 kg box on a slope with a 30-degree angle and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.2. Participants emphasize the application of Newton's Second Law to solve the problem. There are technical challenges regarding sharing images to illustrate the setup, with suggestions to compress or resize files for easier uploading. Users discuss various formats for image sharing, including .gif and .jpeg, and tools like Photoshop for resizing. The conversation highlights the importance of visual aids in understanding physics problems.

What is the acceleration of the system illustrated, if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2? Assume that it starts.

The picture is a triangle with an angle of 30degrees to the horizontal. A box of 3Kg is on the slope(hypotenuse) and attached with a string, going along the slope. It is basicaly a pulley system and there is a 3kg mass hanging on the right.

This is a basic Newton's Second Law problem. If you can, why don't you scan a picture in, or draw one, and tell us what you are doing :D
 
How shall I show you?

By loading it as an attachement to one of your messages ? :confused: :wink:
 
ya but
its too big...it says I can only allow 400X400 and have less than 50Kb

Yes,i've encountered the same problem with the dimention of the files i was going to upload.And that's because they remain on the server.
Maybe another format (.gif,compressed bitmap,.jpeg) with less dimension.
 
Compression compression compression :P or just post it elsewhere and post it as a link
 
its stupid because I don't know how to resize it to another resolution...
 
Photoshop will do it.
