    Blocks Slope
AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum force (fmax) needed for two blocks on a slope to stay together without falling, the masses are given as m1 = 2 kg and m2 = 5 kg, with specified friction coefficients. The problem involves calculating the force required while considering the absence of friction between m2 and the floor and the kinetic and static friction between m1 and m2. A participant suggests that their calculated fmax of 11.18N is close to the expected 11.2N, which is derived using a 37-degree angle and gravitational acceleration of 10 m/s². The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the acceleration variable in relation to the forces acting on the blocks. Accurate calculations and the correct application of trigonometric principles are crucial for solving this problem effectively.

Homework Statement


hey I need help with this question I have this sketch and the tell me that m1= 2 kg, m2= 5 kg the say that we don't have friction between m2 and the floor the kinetic friction between m1 and m2 is 0.2 and the static friction is 0.5 and we have the f - f pushing m1

Homework Equations


what fmax need to be that m2 and m1 will stay together and don't fall

and don't fall
So what does that imply regarding your acceleration variable, a?

its change
actually, I think I solved it but at the answer, that get 11.2 and I got 11.18
can i uploud and you check if i solved it correctly ?

Typically an angle of 37 degrees is specified when the author intends a 3-4-5 triangle. Taking cos of it to be exactly .8, and using 10m/s##^2## for g, gives 11.2N exactly.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
