A concentrate slab of mass 400kg accelerates down a concentrate slope inclined at 35 degree.the cofficient of kinetic between the slab and slope is 0.60 determine the acceleration of the block

1 answer

The acceleration of the block can be calculated using the equation:
a = gsinθ - μk gcosθ

where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2), θ is the angle of the slope (35°), μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction (0.60).

Therefore, the acceleration of the block is:
a = 9.8sin35° - 0.60 × 9.8cos35°
= 4.9 m/s2
