A 30 kg box is resting on an incline plane as shown in Figure Q2. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the slope is 0.3 Figure Q2 a) Draw the free body diagram of the box and indicate clearly all forces acting on it. (4 marks) b) Determine the minimum force P to prevent the box from sliding down the plane. (10 marks) c) Determine the friction force between the box and the plane.
![Two blocks A and B with masses mA = 10 kg and mB = 4 kg are connected by an inextensible cable and released from rest shown in Figure 1 (where block A is placed in position C ). The coefficients of kinetic friction between two blocks and the 30∘ inclined plane are μA = 0.1 and mB = 0.3. The cable is in tension in the entire motion and the sizes of blocks are negligible. (Take gravitational acceleration as 10 m/s2) (a) Draw separate free body diagrams of blocks A and B. Indicate clearly all the forces, directions of motion and coordinate systems. [4 marks] b) Based on the free body diagrams in part (a), establish the equations of motion for blocks A and B and determine the tension in the cable between two blocks. [12 marks] (c) Determine the time required for block A to move 2.5 m from positions C to D along the incline and the velocity of block A when it reaches position D.
