A block of mass m slides down on rough inclined plane of angle x with the horizontal with an acceleration "a" along the plane the value of reaction is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is un-allowed to give the final answer here, so I state the direction only: a. Separate the tangential and the normal components of the weight b. The normal component = the reaction c. The tangential component = Weight * Sin x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and wat does..." Reaction" here means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it abt Normal Reaction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess It is Mg cos x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The third Newton's law says that the slope surface pushes back the weight of the block (only the normal component of it, of course) this IS the Reaction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mr Yahoo note that You were not given the Mg - only the a, so use points a,b,c above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I could spell the answer - but it is unallowed here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should be Consider Friction..here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No because it is NOT mentioned - so you read it "no friction"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use my points a,b,c above. Write an appropriate formula (you actually written it here ...) and solve for Normal force

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Strange - I was banned for giving complete solution - but no reprimand is given here by the moderators ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer should be \[m \sqrt{g^2 + a^2 - 2 a g sinx}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why the Normal Reaction can't be Mg cosx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IT is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did nt... Understand..Wat u r trying to say..
