Step 1
First, we need to understand what the normal force is. The normal force is the force exerted by a surface that supports the weight of an object resting on it. It acts perpendicular (or "normal") to the surface. The normal force is equal to the weight of the Show more…

A block with mass M = 7.50 kg is initially moving up the incline with speed v₀ and is increasing speed with acceleration a = 4.13 m/s². The applied force F is horizontal. The coefficients of friction between the block and incline are μₛ = 0.443 and μₖ = 0.312. The angle of the incline is 25.0 degrees. What is the magnitude of the force F? What is the magnitude of the normal force N between the block and incline? What is the magnitude of the force of friction on the block?

A horizontal force of 100 N pushes a 12-kg block up a frictionless incline that makes an angle of 25° with the horizontal. (a) What is the normal force that the incline exerts on the block? (b) What is the acceleration of the block? Note: Sin 25° = 0.43.

The force P is applied to the 45-kg block when it is at rest. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force exerted by the surface on the block if (a) P = 0, (b) P = 190 N, and (c) P = 268 N. (d) What value of P is required to initiate motion up the incline? The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the block and the incline are μs = 0.25 and μk = 0.22, respectively. The friction force is positive if up the incline, negative if down the incline.
