The correct Answer is:
To find the force \( F_1 \) required to move a block of mass \( m \) up an inclined plane with a coefficient of friction \( \mu \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Forces Acting on the Block When the block is on the inclined plane, several forces are acting on it: - The weight of the block \( mg \) acting vertically downward. - The normal force \( N \) acting perpendicular to the inclined plane. - The frictional force \( F_f \) acting parallel to the inclined plane, opposing the motion. ### Step 2: Resolve the Weight into Components The weight of the block can be resolved into two components: - The component parallel to the inclined plane: \( mg \sin \theta \) - The component perpendicular to the inclined plane: \( mg \cos \theta \) ### Step 3: Calculate the Normal Force The normal force \( N \) is equal to the perpendicular component of the weight: \[ N = mg \cos \theta \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Frictional Force The frictional force \( F_f \) can be calculated using the coefficient of friction \( \mu \): \[ F_f = \mu N = \mu (mg \cos \theta) \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation for the Force Required to Move the Block To move the block up the inclined plane, the applied force \( F_1 \) must overcome both the gravitational component pulling it down the incline and the frictional force acting against the motion. Therefore, we can express this as: \[ F_1 = mg \sin \theta + F_f \] ### Step 6: Substitute the Frictional Force into the Equation Substituting the expression for the frictional force into the equation gives: \[ F_1 = mg \sin \theta + \mu (mg \cos \theta) \] ### Final Expression Thus, the force required to move the block up the inclined plane is: \[ F_1 = mg \sin \theta + \mu mg \cos \theta \]
