Question
A weight weighing 15 Newtons starts on A, on top of a smoothing rolling
mechanism with a velocity of 5 m/s. After passing through the
mechanism, the crate will travel a distance d on a rough surface to B until
it stops. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4 N. Determine the distance
d assuming a constant horizontal force of 21N (due to air resistance) is
acting on the weight from the bottom of the mechanism to point B.
A
5 m/s
1 m
Hint: Use Vertical work
