A crate travels through a factory on a conveyor belt (without slipping) at a constant speed. The conveyor belt is inclined at some non-zero angle above the horizontal. If air resistnace is negligible, what forced are active on the box?

A rope is pulling a box up a conveyor as shown. The box is moving at constant speed. The box weighs 20.0 N, and the kinetic friction force between the box and the conveyor is 10.0 N. The conveyor is angled at 18.0°. a) Draw a free-body diagram of the box to the right of the diagram shown. b) Find the force, F, on the box. c) Find the normal force on the box.

A 15 kg crate is placed on a horizontal conveyor belt. The materials are such that ÎĽs = 0.50 and ÎĽk = 0.30. Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces on the crate as the conveyor belt runs at a constant speed. Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces on the crate if the conveyor belt is speeding up. What is the maximum acceleration the belt can have without the crate slipping? If acceleration of the belt exceeds the value determined in part c, what is the acceleration of the crate?
