A block of mass 25 kg is pulled along a horizontal surface by a force at an angle 45^circ with the horizontal. The friction coefficient between the block and the surface is 0.25. The work done for a displacement of 5 m of the block with uniform velocity is:

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula N + Fsintheta = mg implies N = mg - Fsintheta Fcostheta = f_k = mu_k N W = F cdot S cdot costheta ### Core Logic Since the block moves with uniform velocity, horizontal acceleration is zero. Fcos(45^circ) = mu [mg - Fsin(45^circ)] fracFsqrt2 = 0.25 left[25 times 9.8 - fracFsqrt2right] fracFsqrt2 = 61.25 - 0.25 fracFsqrt2 implies 1.25 fracFsqrt2 = 61.25 ### Step 1: Compute Force and Work Done fracFsqrt2 = frac61.251.25 = 49 implies F = 49sqrt2text N The work done by the external force over displacement S=5text m is: W = F S cos(45^circ) = (49sqrt2) times 5 times frac1sqrt2 = 245text J

To prevent the coin from slipping, the static friction must provide the necessary centripetal force for circular motion. f = momega^2 r The normal force on the flat disc is N = mg. The maximum static friction is f_textmax = mu N = mu mg.
