The motor exerts a force of F=(20t^2) N on the cable, where t is in seconds.?

Determine the speed of the 25 kg crate when t=4s.The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the crate and the plane are 0.3 and 0.25, respectively.

    Apply Newtons' 2nd law:

    Σ F = ma

    F - ƒ = ma,

    where,

    friction force: ƒ = (µ_k) mg,

    20t² - (µ_k) mg = ma

    20t² - 0.25*25*9.81 = 25a

    a = 20t² - 61.3 / 25, ......for t = 4, ......=> a = (20*4² - 61.3) / 25 = 10.34 m/s²

    v = at = 10.34*4 = 41.39 m/s
