Question

A 5.0-kg box is pulled horizontally with a 45-N force that makes angle of 40 degree with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface is 0.20. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box?

M*g = 5 * 9.8 = 49 N. = Wt. of box.

Fn = 49 - 45*sin40 = 20.1 N. = Normal
force.

Fk = u*Fn = 0.2 * 20.1 = 4.01 N. = Force
of kinetic friction.

a = (Fx-Fk)/m = (45*Cos40-4.01)/5 = 6.1
