Problem P. 4198. (November 2009)

P. 4198. A small block of mass m=1 kg is placed to a plank which moves on a horizontal frictionless surface, as shown in the figure. The mass of the plank is M=4 kg, and its length is L=0.8 m. The coefficient of friction between the plank and the block is =0.4.

a) What is the least constant force F₀ with which the plank must be pulled in order to make the block slide down from it?

b) How long does it take for the bock to slide down if the pulling force is F₁=3 mg?

c) Till the instant when the block fell off the plank what percent of the force F₁ increased the internal energy of the system?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. \(\displaystyle a)\) \(\displaystyle F_{0}>\mu g (m+M)=19,6\)  N.

\(\displaystyle b)\) \(\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2LM}{F_{1}-\mu g (m+M)}}=0{,}81\) s.

\(\displaystyle c)\) Kb. 5%-a.
