Normal and frictional forces
 

Normal and frictional forces problem 9




A block of mass is placed on a rough plane which is inclined at an angle of to the horizontal. The block is pulled up the plane by a light string that makes an angle of above a line of greatest slope. The tension in the string is (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between the block and plane is 0.65. The acceleration of the block is . Find .
