F= uR

sam (.sam.):

From X component we got \[X: Fcos(25)-f=ma\] From Y component we got \[Y: R-18g=0\] Agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

sam (.sam.):

Wait Y component we got \[Y: R+30\sin(25)-18g=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just abput to say that :P

sam (.sam.):

So from X \[30\cos(25)-f=0.4(18) \\ \\ 30\cos(25)=\mu R+(7.2)\] Then find R from Y, then substitute that R into this equation and you will find mu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanksss!!

sam (.sam.):

What you got for R?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.122

sam (.sam.):

That is \(\mu\), but you got it, great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry yeh, thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also how do you know how long it takes to travel 50m? do you use suvat?

sam (.sam.):

There are number of ways, that depends on whether they give you time, acceleration, initial velocity, final velocity etc, or you can use energy to calculate as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, well s= 50 and u=0 and v=?? and a=0.4 and we want to find t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay I got the answer :)

sam (.sam.):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with another q please?

sam (.sam.):

I gotta go now, maybe unkle will help? ;)
