Answer:
A.) 17.04 N
B.) 10.76 m/s^2
Explanation:
Given that a 2kg block is acted on by two forces F1 and F2 as shown in the diagram. If the magnitude of F1 = 13N and F2 = 11N. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .23,
A.) To find the normal force exerted on it by the floor, we need to first calculate the vertical forces of the ropes.
The vertical force on F1 = 13 sin 30
F1 = -6.5 N
The vertical force on F2 = 11 sin 21
F2 = 3.94
The resultant force = - 6.5 + 3.94
Resultant force = - 2.56
The normal force = mg - 2.56
The normal force = 2 × 9.8 - 2.56
The normal force = 19.6 - 2.56
The normal force = 17.04 N
(B) The acceleration on of the block will be achieved by first calculating the horizontal force.
For F1 = 13Cos 30
F1 = 11.26N
For F2 = 11 cos 21
F2 = 10.27
the resultant force = 11.26 + 10.27
Horizontal force = 21.53N
Force = mass × acceleration
21.53 = 2 × a
a = 21.53 / 2
Acceleration a = 10.76 m/s^2
