Force Required to Push a Box Up an Incline

A 3.0 m long wooden plank is used to push a cargo box with a mass of $m = 200$ kg up onto a platform that is 1.3 m high. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank is 0.3. The box is pushed at a constant speed.

What is the magnitude of the pushing force required along the incline?

Static Friction on a Wedge with a Sliding Block

As shown in Figure, a wooden wedge ABC with mass $M=10$ kg is stationary on a rough horizontal ground. A block with mass $m=1.0$ kg starts to slide down from rest on the inclined surface of the wedge, which has an angle $\theta = 30^\circ$. When the block has slid a distance $s=1.4$ m, its velocity is $v=1.4$ m/s. Throughout this process, the wedge does not move. The gravitational acceleration is $g=10$ m/s². The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wedge and the ground is given as $\mu=0.02$, though this information might not be necessary for the primary calculation.

  1. Find the magnitude of the friction force exerted by the ground on the wedge.
  2. Find the direction of the friction force exerted by the ground on the wedge.

Object on an Inclined Plane with Friction

An inclined plane has a length $L=5$ m and height $H=3$ m. At the bottom, there is an object A with mass $m=5$ kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between A and the plane is $\mu=0.3$. A horizontal force $F=100$ N pushes A, causing it to move up the incline from rest. After A has moved a distance $s_0=2$ m along the incline, the force F is removed. Assume $g=10$ m/s².

How much time will it take for A to return to the bottom of the incline, starting from the moment the force is removed?

Force Analysis of Two Blocks on an Incline

Two blocks, A and B, with masses $m_A$ and $m_B$ and coefficients of kinetic friction $\mu_A$ and $\mu_B$ respectively, are connected by a light rod. They slide down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$ together, as shown in the figure. It is assumed that the condition for sliding down is met, i.e., $\tan\theta > \mu_A$ and $\tan\theta > \mu_B$.

  1. In the case where $\mu_A > \mu_B$, determine if there is a force in the rod. If so, find its magnitude and direction.
  2. In the case where $\mu_A = \mu_B$, determine if there is a force in the rod. If so, find its magnitude and direction.
  3. In the case where $\mu_A < \mu_B$, determine if there is a force in the rod. If so, find its magnitude and direction.

Dynamics of Connected Blocks on Inclined Plane

A block of mass $m_1$ on a horizontal frictionless surface is connected by a massless cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a block of mass $m_2$ on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle $\theta$. A horizontal force $\vec{F}$ is applied to $m_1$.

  1. If the force $\vec{F}$ is directed to the left with magnitude $F$, what is the tension $T$ in the cord?
  2. If the force $\vec{F}$ is directed to the right, what is its largest magnitude, $F_{max}$, for which the cord remains taut?
