Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsForce 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.

Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsStatic 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.
- Find the magnitude of the friction force exerted by the ground on the wedge.
- Find the direction of the friction force exerted by the ground on the wedge.

Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsObject 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.

Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsForce 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 $\tan\theta > \mu_B$.
- In the case where $\mu_A > \mu_B$, determine if there is a force in the rod. If so, find its magnitude and direction.
- In the case where $\mu_A = \mu_B$, determine if there is a force in the rod. If so, find its magnitude and direction.
- In the case where $\mu_A < \mu_B$, determine if there is a force in the rod. If so, find its magnitude and direction.

A triangular wooden block ABC rests on a rough horizontal surface. On its two rough inclined surfaces, two blocks with masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ ($m_1 > m_2$) are placed, as shown in Figure. The angles of inclination are $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$. The entire system, consisting of the triangular block and the two smaller blocks, is at rest.
