A Block Is at Rest on a Rough Inclined Plane $\mu$

question 23

Multiple Choice

A block is at rest on a rough inclined plane and is connected to an object with the same mass as shown. The rope may be considered massless; and the pulley may be considered frictionless. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is μs; and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk.

-If the rope were cut between the block and the pulley, what would be the magnitude of the acceleration of the block down the plane?

• D)g(tan \(\theta\) - \(\mu\)_k sin \(\theta\))
• E)g(sin \(\theta\) - \(\mu\)_k cos \(\theta\))

Definitions:

Average Service Rate

The average number of customers or units that can be processed over a certain time frame in a service system.

Expected to Stay

An estimation of the duration or likelihood that an individual or item remains in a particular state or location.

M/D/1

M/D/1 is a queueing model designation indicating a system with a Poisson arrival process (M), deterministic service times (D), a single server (1), and exponential service times.

Constant Service Time

A situation where the time required to serve a customer or complete a process is the same each time, allowing for predictable scheduling and planning.
