hav0c said:horizontal components
of acc. are-- a and (nsinθ)/m
and force are-- ma and nsinθ
but my main question is that is my equation 3 correct?
I have taken g to be the acceleration downwards due to gravityvoko said:I do not see any "g" in the picture so based solely on the picture, that equation is definitely wrong.
As are the diagrams. Please state the question exactly as it was given to you.hav0c said:Edit: nevermind these equations are totally useless
In order to solve this FBD problem, you will need to draw a free body diagram (FBD) of the object in question. This diagram should include all the forces acting on the object, including the given forces M and N, and any other relevant forces such as gravity or friction. Once you have a clear FBD, you can apply Newton's second law (F = ma) to find the acceleration of the object.
This equation represents the vertical component of the force M (M.sinθ) being equal to the normal force N. This is a result of the object being in equilibrium in the vertical direction, where the forces acting upwards (M.sinθ) must be balanced by the forces acting downwards (N).
No, this equation is specific to this particular FBD problem. In other problems, you may need to use different equations or approaches to find the solution. It is important to always carefully consider the forces acting on the object and choose the appropriate equations or methods for solving the problem.
The angle θ represents the angle at which the force M is acting on the object. This angle is important because it affects the magnitude and direction of the force, and therefore, the equilibrium of the object. It is crucial to accurately determine the angle in order to solve the problem correctly.
To ensure the accuracy of your solution, you can check if it satisfies the given equations M.asinθ=N and N.sinθ=Ma. If your solution does not satisfy these equations, then there may be an error in your calculations. You can also check the units of your solution to make sure they are consistent with the given units in the problem.
