Sliding box question- finding applied force with friction
Reply to thread
Message
[QUOTE="gneill, post: 4641173, member: 293536"] Keep in mind that the applied force is horizontal. Only a component of that force will be directed along the slope. Draw a free body diagram and see if you can't work out how to decompose the applied force into components along the slope and normal to the slope. Again, since the applied force is not parallel to the slope, but is horizontal, it's component normal to the slope will contribute to the net normal force that results in friction... [/QUOTE]
