A 60 kg block rests on a rough plane inclined at 30 deg with the horizontal. The coefficient of sliding friction between block and plane is 0.15. What force P parallel to the plane is required to keep the block moving up the plane at constant speed?
Added by Kyle R.
Step 1
Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the block: - Weight of the block acting downwards (mg) - Normal force perpendicular to the incline (N) - Friction force opposing the motion up the incline (f) - Force P parallel to the incline Show more…
