The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is μk = 0.295, and the rope pulling the box is parallel to the ramp. If the box accelerates up the ramp at a rate of a = 2.49 m/s², calculate the tension FT in the rope. Use g = 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. FT =

A force of 50N is sliding on a rough horizontal floor and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction . You observe that one instant the box is sliding to the right at 1.75m/s and that it stops at 2.25s with uniform acceleration what is the magnitude of the frictional force on the box

The uniform box of mass $m$ slides down the rough incline. Determine the location $d$ of the effective normal force $N$. The effective normal force is located at the centroid of the nonuniform pressure distribution which the incline exerts on the bottom surface of the block.
