Question

If the 50-kg crate starts from rest and achieves a velocity of v = 4 m/s when it travels a distance of 5 m to the right, determine the magnitude of force P acting on the crate. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ground is \(\mu_{k}=0.3\).

Solution

Step 1 of 5

Given data:

The mass of the crate is \(m=50 \mathrm{~kg} .\)

The final velocity of the crate is \(v=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).

The distance travelled in the horizontal direction is \(s=5 \mathrm{~m} .\)

The coefficient of kinematic friction is \(\mu_{k}=0.3\).
