Chapter 7, Problem 41P(choose chapter or problem)
At a construction site, a 65.0-\(\mathrm{kg}\) bucket of concrete hangs from a light (but strong) cable that passes over a light, friction-free pulley and is connected to an 80.0-\(\mathrm{kg}\) box on a horizontal roof (Fig. P7.41). The cable pulls horizontally on the box, and a 50.0-\(\mathrm{kg}\) bag of gravel rests on top of the box. The coefficients of friction between the box and roof are shown. (a) Find the friction force on the bag of gravel and on the box. (b) Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.00 m from rest. (You can check your answer by solving this problem using Newton’s laws.)

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
Mass of the bucket = 65 kg
Mass of the block = 80 kg
Mass of the bag of gravel = 50 kg
\(\mu_{k}=0.400\)
\(mu_{S}=0.700\)
