The block in the diagram below is at rest. however, the tension in the cable is not the only thing holding the block back. static friction is also applying a force. if the coefficient of static friction is 0.214 determine the
tension in the rope.

The  tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is,

Coefficient of static friction is,

Angle of inclination is, °

Draw a free body diagram of the block.

From the free body diagram, consider the forces in the vertical direction perpendicular to inclined plane.

Forces acting are and normal . Now, there is no motion in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane. So,

Consider the direction along the inclined plane.

The forces acting along the plane are and frictional force, , down the plane and tension, , up the plane.

Now, as the block is at rest, so net force along the plane is also zero.

Therefore, the  tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper.

are there answer choices to this question? this seems like a question where you have options to choose from.
