Solution

To solve the problems in the image provided, here are the key formulas and concepts that are useful:


1. Newton's Second Law of Motion:

Fnet=maF_{\text{net}} = m \cdot a

  • FnetF_{\text{net}}: Net force acting on the object (in Newtons, NN).
  • mm: Mass of the object (in kilograms, kgkg).
  • aa: Acceleration of the object (in meters per second squared, m/s2m/s^2).

Net Force:
Fnet=FappFfrictF_{\text{net}} = F_{\text{app}} - F_{\text{frict}} Where:

  • FappF_{\text{app}}: Applied force (in NN).
  • FfrictF_{\text{frict}}: Frictional force (in NN).

2. Friction Force Formula:

Ffrict=μFnormF_{\text{frict}} = \mu \cdot F_{\text{norm}} Where:

  • FfrictF_{\text{frict}}: Frictional force (in NN).
  • μ\mu: Coefficient of friction (unitless).
  • FnormF_{\text{norm}}: Normal force (in NN).

For horizontal surfaces:
Fnorm=FgravF_{\text{norm}} = F_{\text{grav}} Where:

  • FgravF_{\text{grav}}: Gravitational force (in NN).
  • Fgrav=mgF_{\text{grav}} = m \cdot g, with g=9.8m/s2g = 9.8 \, m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity).

3. Solving for Acceleration:

If friction and applied forces are known, acceleration can be calculated as:
a=Fnetma = \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{m}


4. Coefficient of Friction:

Rearranging the friction force formula, the coefficient of friction can be calculated as:
μ=FfrictFnorm\mu = \frac{F_{\text{frict}}}{F_{\text{norm}}}


Steps to Solve Each Situation:

  1. Identify the forces given in the problem (Fapp,Ffrict,Fnorm,FgravF_{\text{app}}, F_{\text{frict}}, F_{\text{norm}}, F_{\text{grav}}).
  2. Calculate the missing force or acceleration using the formulas above.
  3. If acceleration is 00, frictional force exactly balances the applied force:
    Ffrict=FappF_{\text{frict}} = F_{\text{app}}
  4. Use μ\mu formula when necessary.
