Chapter 10, Problem 87

(choose chapter or problem)

A plank with a mass M 5 6.00 kg rests on top of twoidentical, solid, cylindrical rollers that have R 5 5.00 cmand m 5 2.00 kg (Fig. P10.87). The plank is pulled by aconstant horizontal force FSof magnitude 6.00 Napplied to the end of the plank and perpendicular tothe axes of the cylinders (which are parallel). The cylindersroll without slipping on a flat surface. There isalso no slipping between the cylinders and the plank.(a) Find the initial acceleration of the plank at themoment the rollers are equidistant from the ends ofthe plank. (b) Find the acceleration of the rollers atthis moment. (c) What friction forces are acting at thismoment?
