In the figure, a slab of mass m1 = 40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 = 11 kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force ModifyingAbove Upper F With right-arrow of magnitude 107 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
slab mass m1 = 40 kg
block of mass m2 = 11 kg
coefficient of static friction = 0.60
coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.40
F on block = 107 N
Normal = 11*9.8
N = 107.8 N
Static Ff = 107.8*0.6 = 64.68 N which is less than 107 N
11 kg block will slide on 40 kg slab with net Force FN
FN = 107 N - kinetic Ff
FN = 107 – (107.8*0.4)
FN = 63.88 N
11 kg block will slide
a = 63.88/11
a = 5.8 m/s/s
acceleration of 40 kg slab
a = Kinetic_Ff/mb
a = 43.12/40
a = 1.078 m/s/s
