A 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case is 0.580, and the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.520. The mass is given a shove causing it to slide down the incline. What is the frictional force while the mass is sliding

Respuesta :

The frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

What is friction force?

Opposition forces on the surface cause heat loss during the motion of an object known as the friction force.

Given data:

m(mass)= 10.0-kg

Θ (Inclination angle)=25.0o

Coefficient of sliding friction,[tex]\rm \mu_k[/tex]=0.520

Coefficient of static friction,[tex]\rm \mu_s=0.520[/tex]

The friction force, F=?

Resolve the force in the inclined plane;

[tex]\rm F=\mu_s mg cos25^0 \\\\ F=0.520 \times 10 \times 9.81 \times cos 25 ^0 \\\\ F= 46.2 \ N[/tex]

Hence, the frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.
