Forces and Equilibrium : Find the force b/w the blocks?

In summary, two blocks are moved up an inclined plane with constant velocity using a force F. The value of F is found to be 15 N by considering the blocks as a single system and using a free-body diagram. The force acting between the blocks is also determined to be 5 N. No other information or equations are provided in the conversation.

The Attempt at a Solution


I got the solution of the Force( F ) which is 15 N by considering the two blocks as a single system, making its F.B.D. and finding its components...The answer for F is correct. But i was unable to find the force acting b/w the blocks...Thanks. Waiting for an answer...

Make a free-body diagram for the 1 kg block. You know the component of gravity along the slope, and an other force (call it N) is exerted on it by the other block.

thnx ehild
Wt. of 1 kg block= 10N
10sin30 = N
Therefore, N= 5 N...

Thank u so much...
 

FAQ: Forces and Equilibrium : Find the force b/w the blocks?

1. What is the definition of force?

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate or change its direction or shape. It is measured in Newtons (N).

2. How do you calculate the force between two objects?

The force between two objects is calculated using the equation F = ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is the mass of the object in kilograms, and a is the acceleration in meters per second squared.

3. What is meant by equilibrium?

Equilibrium is a state in which all forces acting on an object are balanced, resulting in no net force and no change in motion.

4. How do you determine if an object is in equilibrium?

An object is in equilibrium if the sum of all the forces acting on it is zero. This means that the forces are balanced and there is no acceleration or change in motion.

5. How do you find the force between two blocks in contact?

To find the force between two blocks in contact, you need to first identify all the forces acting on the blocks, including weight, normal force, frictional force, and any external forces. Then, use the equation F = ma to calculate the net force, which will be equal to the force between the blocks.
