A 50-cm à 30-cm à 20-cm block weighing 150 N is to be moved at a constant

Question:

A 50-cm × 30-cm × 20-cm block weighing 150 N is to be moved at a constant velocity of 0.80 m/s on an inclined surface with a friction coefficient of 0.27.

(a) Determine the force F that needs to be applied in the horizontal direction.

(b) If a 0.40-mm-thick oil film with a dynamic viscosity of 0.012 Paˆ™s is applied between the block and inclined surface, determine the percent reduction in the required force.

V= 0.80 m/s 50 cm 30 cm 20 150 N
