Problem 90b

Background and context

To Determine:

The acceleration of the system.

Solution:

Acceleration =0.88 m/s2.

Explanation:

Mass of the block,   

Mass of the bucket,   

Coefficient of static friction between the table and block is 0.45.

Coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and block is 0.32.

Formula used:

From Newton’s second law of motion:

Where, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
