Q.
A 30 kg box has to move up an inclined slope of 30∘ to the horizontal at a uniform velocity of 5 m/s. If the frictional force retarding the motion is 250 N the horizontal force in newtons to move up is (g=10m/s2) :
A box is moving with a uniform velocity, then the force acting on the body is given by F=mgsinθ+μmgcosθ=30×10×sin30o+250=30×10×21+250=400 Now, horizontal component of force is given by F=cosθ=400×cos300=24003N
