A large crate of mass 40kg lies at rest on rough horizontal ground. One end of the rope is attached to the crate and the rope makes an angle of 30 with ground as shown in the diagram. The tension of the rope is 150N and the crate is on the of moving along the plane.
By modelling the crate as a particle,
(a) Find the value of [mue], the cofficient of frction between the crate and the ground.
The rope remains at 30 degree to the ground but the tension init is increased to 200N.
(b) Find the acceleration of the crate.
