Question
a 5kg block, resting on a rough horizontal table is connected by a light in extensible string passing over a light frictionless pulley to another block mass of 2 kg. the 2 kg block hangs vertically. A force of 60N is applied to the 5 kg block at an angle of 10° to the horizontal, causing the block to accelerate to the left
a) draw a labelled free body diagram showing all the forces acting on the 5 kg block
a) draw a labelled free body diagram showing all the forces acting on the 5 kg block
Answers
GPT 3.5
The free body diagram for the 5 kg block would include the following forces:
1. Weight acting downwards (50 N)
2. Normal force from the table acting upwards
3. Tension T in the string acting to the right
4. Force F at an angle of 10° to the horizontal acting to the left
Note: Due to the angle of the force F, it can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components.
