Normal and frictional forces
 

Normal and frictional forces problem 8




A block B, of mass , lies on a rough inclined plane sloping at to the horizontal. A light rope, inclined at an angle of above a line of greatest slope, is attached to B. The tension in the rope is . There is a friction force of acting on B (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between B and the plane is . It is given instead that and . Determine whether B will move up the plane.
