Chapter 6 Problem 91

Question

An 18-kg sled starts up a \(28^\circ\) incline with a speed of 2.3 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction is \(\mu_\mathrm {k}=0.25\). (a) How far up the incline does the sled travel? (b) What condition must you put on the coefficient of static friction if the sled is not to get stuck at the point determined in part (a)? (c) If the sled slides back down, what is its speed when it returns to its starting point?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 91 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An 18-kg sled starts up a \(28^\circ\) incline with a speed of 2.3 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction is \(\mu_\mathrm {k}=0.25\). (a) How far up the incline does the sled travel? (b) What condition must you put on the coefficient of static friction if the sled is not to get stuck at the point determined in part (a)? (c) If the sled slides back down, what is its speed when it returns to its starting point?
From the textbook chapter Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
