man's mass is 2.8 slugs and the sleigh is 2.2 slugs and slides down the rough surface makes 60deg with the horizontal. surface has a coefficient of friction of the surface = 0.1. find the forces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fprces involved.. normal, weight and friction

OpenStudy (cybershadow):

i m not good at drawing, going to take hrs for me to draw this lol

OpenStudy (cybershadow):

force equations wud be---

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too not good in drawing.. i can only sing and back to work silver haha

OpenStudy (cybershadow):

N = (m+M)gcos60 force of friction = f = 0.3N ma = f - (m+M)gsin60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1389279407506:dw| f=uxmgcos60 (u=coefficient of friction) N=mgx cos60 (frictional force=u xN ---->originally) equation parallel to the plane----> mgsin60-f=mxa (acceleration of man and sleigh) equation perpendicular to the plane ----> N=mgxcos60
