Block a of Mass 8

question 14

Multiple Choice

Block A of mass 8.0 kg and block X are attached to a rope that passes over a pulley. A 50-N force P is applied horizontally to block A, keeping it in contact with a rough vertical face. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the wall and block A are μ_s = 0.40 and μ_k = 0.30. The pulley is light and frictionless. In the figure, the mass of block X is adjusted until block A descends at constant velocity of 4.75 cm/s when it is set into motion. What is the mass of block X?

• A) 6.5 kg
• B) 7.2 kg
• C) 8.0 kg
