There is a block resting on a table attached to a hanging mass around a pulley.
Assume a value of g = 10 m/s2. If there is no friction, and the mass on the table has a value of 5.0 kg and the hanging mass has a value of 1.0 kg, what is the value of the kinetic friction coefficient that will result in an acceleration of 0.1 m/s2 once the block has started to slide?
This is the last question of a multi-step question, and I cannot seem to figure it out. I figured out that the value of the kinetic friction coefficient that would result in a constant velocity of the block once it has started to slide was 0.2, but I keep getting this same answer for this question which is wrong. How do I calculate this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
