    Friction Incline
AI Thread Summary
A 70 kg object is being pulled up a 30-degree incline with a constant velocity, and the friction coefficient is 0.3. The tension in the rope without friction is calculated to be 343 N based on the gravitational force component along the slope. To incorporate friction, the frictional force must be calculated using the normal force, which is affected by both the weight of the object and the incline angle. The total tension in the rope must then account for both the gravitational force and the frictional force. Understanding these forces is essential for solving the problem accurately.

Homework Statement



A 70 kg object is being pulled up a slope of 30 degrees such that the rope is parallel to the slope. the velocity is constant. however, there is a coefficient of friction is 0.3


The Attempt at a Solution



I know without friction its, something like, T=mgsin(30)=70kg(9.8m/s^2sin(30))= 343N
But i just don't no know to use the friction coefficient? Any help would be much appricated...

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'
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...
