The system is released from rest with the cable taut. The friction coefficients µs = 0.25 and µk = 0.20,
calculate the acceleration of each body and the tension T in the cable. Neglect the small mass and friction
of the pulleys.
Solution:
First need to check if blocks move. . . Assume the blocks are at rest and calculated the needed friction
force. Summing the vertical forces on mass B,
ΣFy = mB aB,y
0 = 2T − mB g
N
T = mB g/2 = 20 kg 9.81 /2 = 98.1 N
kg
ΣFt = MA aA,t
0 = T + FF − mA g sin (30◦ )
FF = −T + mA g sin (30◦ ) = 196.2 N
ΣFn = MA aA,n
0 = N − mA g cos (30◦ )
N = mA g cos (30◦ ) = 510 N
FF,max = µs N = 127 N < 196.2 N ⇐ The block will slide down the hill
Now set up the force balance equations again, but this time there is acceleration and FF = µk N . First for
block A,
*0
0 = ΣFn − mA aa,n = N − mA g cos (30◦ ) − mA aa,n
N = mA g cos (30◦ ) = 510 N
0 = ΣFt − mA aa,t = T + FF − mA g sin (30◦ ) − mA aa,t
T = −FF + mA g sin (30◦ ) + mA aa,t (1)
So,
NAB = mA g (5)
So,
NB = NAB + mB g = mA g + mB g (11)
