A student produces a power of p = 0.87 kw while pushing a block of mass m = 75 kg on an inclined surface making an angle of θ = 8.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is μk = 0.16. randomized variables p = 0.87 kw m = 75 kg θ = 8.5 degrees μk = 0.16 50% part (a) write an expression for the maximum constant speed, vm, the block travels at under the power applied by the student.

Respuesta :

When block is pushed upwards along the inclined plane

the net force applied on the block will be given as

[tex]F_{net} = mg sin\theta + \mu_k mg cos\theta[/tex]

here we know that

m = 75 kg

[tex]\theta = 8.5 degree[/tex]

[tex]\mu_k = 0.16[/tex]

now plug in all values into this

[tex]F_{net} = 75\times 9.8 sin8.5 + 0.16 \times 75\times 9.8 cos8.5[/tex]

[tex]F = 225 N[/tex]

now for finding the power is given as

[tex]P = Fv[/tex]

[tex]0.87 \times 10^3 = 225 \time v[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{870}{225} = 3.87 m/s[/tex]

The maximum constant speed of block under the power applied by the student is 3.86 m/s.

Given data:

The magnitude of power is, P = 0.87 kW = 870 W.

The mass of block is, m = 75 kg.

Angle of inclination with horizontal is, [tex]\theta = 8.5^\circ[/tex].

The  coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and incline is, [tex]\mu = 0.16[/tex].

he expression for the net force on the block at incline is,

[tex]F=mgsin\theta + \mu mgcos \theta\\F=(75 \times 9.8 \times sin8.5) + (0.16\times 75 \times cos 8.5)\\F = 225 \;\rm N[/tex]

The expression for the power is,

[tex]P = F \times v[/tex]

Here, v is the maximum constant speed of block under the power applied by the student.

Solving as,

[tex]870 = 225 \times v\\v = \dfrac{870}{225}\\v = 3.86 \;\rm m/s[/tex]

Thus, the maximum constant speed of block under the power applied by the student is 3.86 m/s.
