Answer:
a = 4.72 m/s²
Explanation:
given,
mass of the box (m)= 6 Kg
angle of inclination (θ) = 39°
coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.19
magnitude of acceleration = ?
box is sliding downward so,
F - f = m a
f is the friction force
m g sinθ - μ N = ma
m g sinθ - μ m g cos θ = ma
a = g sinθ - μ g cos θ
a = 9.8 x sin 39° - 0.19 x 9.8 x cos 39°
a = 4.72 m/s²
the magnitude of acceleration of the box down the slope is a = 4.72 m/s²
