The crate has a mass of 80 kg and is being towed by a chain p

which is always directed at 20° from the horizontal as
shown. Determine the crate’s acceleration in t = 2 s if the 20
coefficient of static friction is ms = 0.4, the coefficient of
kinetic friction is mk = 0.3, and the towing force is
P = (90t2) N, where t is in seconds.

SOLUTION
Equations of Equilibrium: At t = 2 s, P = 90 A 22 B = 360 N. From FBD(a)

+ c ©Fy = 0; N + 360 sin 20° - 80(9.81) = 0 N = 661.67 N

+ ©F = 0;
: 360 cos 20° - Ff = 0 Ff = 338.29 N
x

Since Ff 7 (Ff)max = ms N = 0.4(661.67) = 264.67 N, the crate accelerates.

Equations of Motion: The friction force developed between the crate and its
contacting surface is Ff = mkN = 0.3N since the crate is moving. From FBD(b),

+ c ©Fy = may ; N - 80(9.81) + 360 sin 20° = 80(0)
