Question

4. The acceleration of a block on an incline in the absence of friction is related to the angle of the incline by the equation, a = g sin ? where ? is the incline angle and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Assuming this equation is correct, use your measured acceleration to determine the value of g? Recall that you used a 4 cm block under one end of a 1.2 meter long track. How does your value compare to the actual value of g = 9.8 m/s²?

A block is at rest. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are s = 0.81 and k = 0.69, respectively. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Required: a. What is the largest angle which the incline can have so that the mass does not slide down the incline? b. What is the acceleration of the block down the incline if the angle of the incline is 44°?

A 20 kg block of mass M is sliding down a rough inclined surface that makes an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction is μs and kinetic friction is μk, then the acceleration of the block down the incline is equal to: A) g sin θ - μs g cos θ. B) μk g cos θ. C) g cos θ - g sin θ. D) g sin θ - μk g cos θ. E) g sin θ - μs g cos θ.

00:01 Hello, here we have to solve the following problem.
00:03 Acceleration of the block, which sits on the incline, is g times sine theta, where theta is the angle of the incline.
00:12 Let's make a quick sketch which will help us.
00:23 So, here we assume that acceleration is correct, and we have to use, we have to basically calculate g.
00:37 So unfortunately, i don't know how the experiment was made, but still i'll put it.
00:42 Try to solve it.
00:47 So here it said that you use the four centimeter block under one end of 1 .2 meter long track...
