Question

The setup of the experiment is shown in the figure. A block, of mass $M$, is placed on rough horizontal surface. The block is pulled by a rope connected to hanging mass $m$. The rope runs over a smooth pulley. 1. Draw the free body diagram of both the block and the hanging mass showing all forces. Indicate the direction of motion on the diagrams. 2. Derive the formula that represents the coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu_k$ between the two surfaces function of: mass of block $M$, hanging mass $m$ and acceleration of system, $a$.

Step 1

The block is placed on a rough horizontal surface, so there are two forces acting on it: the weight (mg) and the frictional force (f). The weight acts vertically downwards and the frictional force acts horizontally in the opposite direction of motion. Since the Show more…
