What is the meaning of this syllabus?

  • Thread starter Benjamin_harsh
  • Start date
In summary, the line from the syllabus regarding resolution of forces considering friction on a horizontal and inclined plane means that there may be frictional forces involved in the motion of a body on these surfaces. For example, in a question involving a box on a rough floor being pulled by a rope, the frictional force must be taken into account when determining the acceleration of the box.

resolution of forces considering friction when a body moves on horizontal plane and inclined plane
I am reading Engneering mechanics for exams, I didn't understand this line from syllabus: resolution of forces considering friction when a body moves on horizontal plane and inclined plane. Does it simply mean resolution of forces? what does "considering friction" mean?

A box of mass m lies on a rough floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction is ##\mu_k##.
A rope is attached to the box at angle ##\theta## above the horizontal. If the tension in the rope is T, and this is sufficient to move the box, how fast does it accelerate?
