Asked by Laston

A traveller is pulling a 55kg load at 150degrees with a force of 600N along a horizontal floor. If the coefficient of friction between the floor and the load is 0.3, find the acceleration of the load?

Can you explain the angle? Measured from what reference?
Answered by Henry
Unless otherwise stated, the angle is measure CCW from the +x-axis.

150o CCW = 30o N. of W.
Mg = 55 * 9.8 = 539 N. = Wt. of load = Normal force(Fn).

Fk = u*Fn = 0.3 * 539 = 161.7 N. = Force of kinetic friction.

F*Cos30-Fk = M*a.
600*Cos30 - 161.7 = 55*a,
a = ?


F*Cos30
Answered by Henry.
Correction: M*g = 55 b* 9.8 = 539 N. = Wt. of load.

Fn = 539 - 600*sin30 = 239 N.

Fk = u*Fn = 0.3 * 239 = 71.7 N. = Force of kinetic friction.

F*Cos30-Fk = M*a.
600*Cos30-71.7 = 55*a.
a = ?
