I agree it would but to calculate Ffriction you need to know μ and you can’t just look up μ for every box. You can look up typical values of μ for different materials in contact with different materials but even then you will only find typical values or perhaps a range of values for μ. What if the object was so heavy that you couldn’t pull it hard enough for it to start moving? How would you be able to calculate the effort you put into it, the object didn’t move.

It helps to draw a new free-body diagram showing all of the horizontal and vertical components of each force acting on the system. A particle of mass 5 kg is at limiting equilibrium on a rough plane which is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. Find the coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane. When a body oscillates by being influenced by an external periodic force, it is called forced oscillation. Here, the amplitude of oscillation, experiences damping but remains constant due to the external energy supplied to the system. The free oscillation possesses constant amplitude and period without any external force to set the oscillation.

If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices. Part B. The work done by kinetic friction is 0.92 \mathrm.

Torque in rotational motion is analogous quantity of force in linear motion. Torque does work over an angular distance whereas Work is to define linear motion. If you observe the application of friction from a frame fixed to any one of the surfaces on which friction is acting, work vistani names can never be positive. Friction, by its nature, always acts opposing the relative motion between two surfaces. Work done by friction can be zero, when there is no relative motion. Work is a scalar because it is the “dot” product of 2 vectors, also called the scalar product.

Question 7.16 From a uniform disk of radius R, a circular hole of radius R/2 is cut out. The centre of the hole is at R/2 from the centre of the original disc. Locate the centre of gravity of the resulting flat body.

Question 7.14 A rope of negligible mass is wound round a hollow cylinder of mass 3 kg and radius 40 cm. What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder if the rope is pulled with a force of 30 N ? Total energy of a system is always conserved, no matter what internal and external forces on the body are present. 6.11 are examples of some potential energy functions in one dimension. The total energy of the particle is indicated by a cross on the ordinate axis. In each case, specify the regions, if any, in which the particle cannot be found for the given energy.
