A physics student is pulling on a 20 kg box that is sliding on the floor. The student applies a pulling force of 100 N using a rope at angle 30o

from the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.4. The acceleration of the box is closest to?

1 answer

ma=Fcosα-F(fr)
F(fr) =μmg
a= (Fcosα- μmg)/m
