    Friction
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a physics problem related to friction on an inclined plane. Participants analyze free body diagrams and equations of motion, noting that the crate's acceleration is zero in the y-direction, indicating no motion. They clarify that to move the crate with uniform velocity, the applied force must equal the frictional force plus the component of weight acting down the incline. The direction of the frictional force is confirmed to be downward when pulling the crate upward. Overall, the focus is on understanding the forces at play in the context of Newton's laws.

The Attempt at a Solution



i've drawn a free body diagram and got my equations to be
x=-490sin30 + f=50a
y=-490cos30 + n = 50a
and now I am stuck



the 'x' one is correct.

For the 'y' one, the resultant force perpendicular to the plane is 0 so -490cos30+N = ? (so what is N?)
 
n is

Hi zhangsterii, welcome to PF.
Since crate is moving down a should be... ?
In the y direction there is no motion. So in that direction acceleration is zero.
Now what is the frictional force f?

For both x and y you have written 50a. How is it that?

When the particle will have uniform velocity in the upward direction?

I am asking "when the particle moves with uniform velocity?" Refer Newtons first law.
 
  • #14
when there is no accerlation
 
  • #15
Correct.
When the acceleration is zero on an inclined plane with friction?

that doesn't make sense...your wording
 
  • #17
when velocity is constant

Now If you pull the crate in the upward direction, what is the direction of the frictional force?
What is the net down ward force?
To move the crate with uniform velocity, how much force you have to apply?

the direction of friction would be downward and to move the crate, you would need a force equal to the force of friction?
Along with the frictional force you have to overcome the component of weight in that direction to pull the crate up.
