Serway & Jewett — The Laws of Motion: Problem 50
An 8.40-kg object slides down a fixed, frictionless, inclined plane. Use a computer to determine and tabulate (a) the normal force exerted on the object and (b) its acceleration for a series of incline angles (measured from the horizontal) ranging from 0° to 90° in 5° increments. (c) Plot a graph of the normal force and the acceleration as functions of the incline angle. (d) In the limiting cases of 0° and 90°, are your results consistent with the known behavior?
📝 Solution Approach
Find: (a) the normal force exerted on the object and; (b) its acceleration for a series of incline angles; (c) Plot a graph of the normal force and the acceleration as fun
