An experiment to find coefficient of friction with inclined plane

Asked by admin @ 28/10/2021 in Physics viewed by 308 People

You have devised an experiment to measure the kinetic coefficient of friction between a ramp and block. You place the block on the ramp at an angle high enough that it starts sliding. You measure the time it takes to fall down a known distance. The time it takes to fall down the ramp starting from a standstill is 0.5 sec, ???? = 1 kg, θ = 45o, and the distance it falls, L, is 0.5 m. What is µk? (8 pts)

Answer:

μ = 0.423

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we must use Newton's second law and kinematics together, let's start using expressions of kinematics to find the acceleration of the body

Let's fix a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the inclined plane, but the acceleration is only on this axis

x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

The body starts from rest so its initial speed is zero

a = 2 x / t²

a = 2 0.5 /0.5²

a = 4 m / s²

Taking the acceleration of the body, we use Newton's second law, we take the direction up the plane as positive

X axis

fr - Wₓ = m a (1)

Y Axis

N- $W_{y}$ = 0

N = W_{y}

We use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

sin 45 = Wₓ / W

cos 45 = W_{y} / W

Wₓ = W sin 45

W_{y} = W cos 45

The out of touch has the expression

fr = μ N

fr = μ W_{y}

We substitute in 1

μ mg cos 45 - mg sin 45 = m a

W_{y} = (a + g sin 45) / g cos 45

μ = a / g cos 45 + 1

We calculate

Acceleration goes down the plane, so it is negative

a = -4 m / s²

μ = 1- 4 / (9.8 cos 45)

μ = 0.423
