2 4 0:00:02 0:00:04 9 of the clock.
31 37 0:00:31 0:00:37 And I think we are in a super important part of the class.
38 45 0:00:38 0:00:45 We have introduced, you know, we spent the first couple of weeks talking about what acceleration was and dealing with that factor.
45 50 0:00:45 0:00:50 And now we are doing forces for the F equals ma.
50 55 0:00:50 0:00:55 Last time we introduced, let us see, we did tension.
56 59 0:00:56 0:00:59 the normal force, a spring force, and gravity.
60 64 0:01:00 0:01:04 So we did four forces in the last lecture, the very first time we introduced it.
65 70 0:01:05 0:01:10 And today, we are going to dedicate an entire lecture to friction.
71 73 0:01:11 0:01:13 Friction is a super important force.
73 81 0:01:13 0:01:21 And also, as you will see, static friction, you just have to be super careful with static friction.
81 83 0:01:21 0:01:23 And so that is going to be our emphasis.
83 89 0:01:23 0:01:29 As always, I ask the brightest students in the country, what are the things we should be paying attention to?
91 95 0:01:31 0:01:35 Yeah, one said, are we ever going to give you numbers for the coefficient of friction?
95 96 0:01:35 0:01:36 And the answer is yes.
97 103 0:01:37 0:01:43 Basically, almost all the time, we will give you a number, like 0.6 or something like that for it.
103 105 0:01:43 0:01:45 So that will be maybe more satisfying.
112 118 0:01:52 0:01:58 like a specific type of problem that we do a lot in physics, and we are going to get lots of practice on that.
119 122 0:01:59 0:02:02 Yeah, and this was another comment along those lines.
123 126 0:02:03 0:02:06 What equations to use in what situations.
126 132 0:02:06 0:02:12 So again, pretty much we are going to be using f equals ma all the time now.
132 135 0:02:12 0:02:15 So hopefully that is not bad.
135 137 0:02:15 0:02:17 Oh, you do not need to memorize them.
137 139 0:02:17 0:02:19 So we give you a formula sheet.
140 145 0:02:20 0:02:25 You can see what that formula sheet is, but you will have it for your quizzes and your exams.
146 149 0:02:26 0:02:29 You can look on the course website and it will show you what that is.
152 154 0:02:32 0:02:34 So let us go ahead and get started.
154 163 0:02:34 0:02:43 I am going to ask you if you have a laptop or even a tablet, if you put it flat so that people behind you do not see it, then you can use that to take notes.
164 165 0:02:44 0:02:45 And then, yeah, that is it.
165 166 0:02:45 0:02:46 Just one thing.
167 168 0:02:47 0:02:48 Let us make it happen.
176 179 0:02:56 0:02:59 is such an important idea.
179 182 0:02:59 0:03:02 I mean, it kind of dominates our understanding of motion.
182 184 0:03:02 0:03:04 We tend to think that things do not want to move.
184 185 0:03:04 0:03:05 They want to stop.
186 189 0:03:06 0:03:09 So if I give this block a push, it stops.
191 199 0:03:11 0:03:19 And the reason it is stopping is because of the way we would understand it with Newton is the reason it stops is because there is a frictional force.
200 208 0:03:20 0:03:28 And this frictional force opposes the relative motion between the block and the table.
209 210 0:03:29 0:03:30 So it is pushing back on it.
212 216 0:03:32 0:03:36 That is called kinetic friction, kinetic because there is relative motion.
217 219 0:03:37 0:03:39 We also have static friction.
220 225 0:03:40 0:03:45 And static friction is talking about, like here, this is not moving.
225 229 0:03:45 0:03:49 But we know gravity should be pulling it down here.
229 234 0:03:49 0:03:54 And the reason that it does not accelerate down this ramp is because of the frictional force.
234 239 0:03:54 0:03:59 It is opposing a relative motion between these two things.
240 242 0:04:00 0:04:02 There is molecular models for it.
243 244 0:04:03 0:04:04 We talked about that.
245 247 0:04:05 0:04:07 We are not going to make a big deal about it.
248 251 0:04:08 0:04:11 But physically, there is something really happening.
251 255 0:04:11 0:04:15 It is a contact force at the microscopic level.
256 258 0:04:16 0:04:18 We are going to deal with it macroscopically.
258 262 0:04:18 0:04:22 And so the first thing we are going to talk about is kinetic friction.
263 265 0:04:23 0:04:25 Now, kinetic friction is your friend.
267 274 0:04:27 0:04:34 Whenever you see a friction problem, if it has kinetic friction, you should just go ahead and have your brain release a little dopamine.
275 276 0:04:35 0:04:36 This is good news.
276 277 0:04:36 0:04:37 This is a happy place.
278 283 0:04:38 0:04:43 Because kinetic friction, we actually know the magnitude of that frictional force.
284 289 0:04:44 0:04:49 It is always equal to this coefficient of friction times the normal force.
291 292 0:04:51 0:04:52 And we also know the direction.
292 295 0:04:52 0:04:55 So let us do some kinetic friction here.
295 298 0:04:55 0:04:58 So if I put this block on, it slides down.
300 303 0:05:00 0:05:03 And so I can figure out exactly what
304 308 0:05:04 0:05:08 the magnitude and direction of that kinetic friction is.
308 309 0:05:08 0:05:09 There is an equal to sign.
309 313 0:05:09 0:05:13 So the direction is it does not want it to slide.
313 315 0:05:13 0:05:15 It is opposing the relative motion.
315 319 0:05:15 0:05:19 So the direction is always parallel to the surface.
320 321 0:05:20 0:05:21 And then it is opposing the motion.
321 323 0:05:21 0:05:23 So it would be up the ramp there.
324 327 0:05:24 0:05:27 And as long as I know what the normal force is, I can calculate it.
328 330 0:05:28 0:05:30 So that is kinetic friction.
332 337 0:05:32 0:05:37 And we are going to start with that, and mostly you should always get these problems and grab these points.
341 345 0:05:41 0:05:45 Then we have our nemesis, static friction.
345 350 0:05:45 0:05:50 I do not know, static, it seems like it should be easier, but it is not.
351 355 0:05:51 0:05:55 This little, it does not say equals to, it says less than or equals to.
356 359 0:05:56 0:05:59 And that is going to be the thing that is going to trip us up.
361 363 0:06:01 0:06:03 And we do not know the direction.
363 368 0:06:03 0:06:08 It has to be parallel to the two surfaces that are in contact.
368 371 0:06:08 0:06:11 But there is a whole bunch of directions.
372 377 0:06:12 0:06:17 If I have something parallel to these two surfaces, there is this direction, that direction.
377 379 0:06:17 0:06:19 We do not know what direction it is.
380 382 0:06:20 0:06:22 And we do not know what magnitude it is.
382 384 0:06:22 0:06:24 We just know it is there.
384 389 0:06:24 0:06:29 What we do know is we do know the maximum value that it can have.
390 396 0:06:30 0:06:36 And so lots of questions will ask for the maximum value and then it is a bit easier because the maximum value is when you set this equal.
397 404 0:06:37 0:06:44 So whenever you see static friction, do not release the dopamine, release the adrenaline, right?
404 409 0:06:44 0:06:49 This is the fight or flight mode you want to be in when you see static friction because you need to be super alert.
413 413 0:06:53 0:06:53 Question or comment?
421 423 0:07:01 0:07:03 Yeah, so that is a question.
423 428 0:07:03 0:07:08 If static friction is less than or equal to, does that mean it will move?
428 436 0:07:08 0:07:16 So what it means is, so the difference between these two blocks I have here, one has sandpaper, so it has a large value of mu.
437 443 0:07:17 0:07:23 So the static frictional force is bigger than the gravitational force, so it stays down.
446 448 0:07:26 0:07:28 I am sorry, so it does not accelerate down.
448 459 0:07:28 0:07:39 This is smooth paper, and so the static frictional force, the gravitational force is greater than mu times the normal force, and so then it accelerates.
464 466 0:07:44 0:07:46 All right, let us give you guys a chance to first...
470 472 0:07:50 0:07:52 Make sure you introduce yourself.
473 474 0:07:53 0:07:54 Say your name.
474 481 0:07:54 0:08:01 Do not assume the person remembers your name because they had quite a late night last night and their brain is not functioning well.
482 490 0:08:02 0:08:10 So reintroduce yourselves and then go ahead and answer this question that is about kinetic friction.
490 496 0:08:10 0:08:16 Here are the magnitudes of the kinetic friction here.
508 511 0:08:28 0:08:31 Oh you guys got to make the two seat leap there.
511 512 0:08:31 0:08:32 You are going to have to shout.
512 513 0:08:32 0:08:33 Get your names.
520 524 0:08:40 0:08:44 Okay good and you have reached across the divide.
525 526 0:08:45 0:08:46 You guys are doing it.
526 528 0:08:46 0:08:48 Oh good you are just in time to introduce yourselves.
529 531 0:08:49 0:08:51 So make sure you get each other's names.
531 533 0:08:51 0:08:53 You guys are looking confident like you are just
535 540 0:08:55 0:09:00 taunting me to see if I will ask you, so I will trust you know each other's names.
540 542 0:09:00 0:09:02 All right, fantastic.
597 603 0:09:57 0:10:03 All right, let us go ahead and stop this in three, two, one.
605 614 0:10:05 0:10:14 All right, so first question, what general equation will I be using to try to solve this problem?
614 616 0:10:14 0:10:16 Somebody in this section, just raise your hand and tell me.
616 619 0:10:16 0:10:19 What equation am I going to be using to solve this?
619 619 0:10:19 0:10:19 Yeah, in the back.
623 625 0:10:23 0:10:25 I am going to need to use the kinetic friction one.
625 626 0:10:25 0:10:26 That is going to come up in a second.
627 631 0:10:27 0:10:31 There is even a broader one that is going to require me to use kinetic friction.
631 632 0:10:31 0:10:32 Go way in the back.
633 634 0:10:33 0:10:34 F equals ma.
636 640 0:10:36 0:10:40 And so we are going to start with F equals ma, and then we are exactly, no, we are going to use your equation.
640 641 0:10:40 0:10:41 You are right.
641 643 0:10:41 0:10:43 It is just, you know, that is the problem with Illinois students.
643 645 0:10:43 0:10:45 You are always three steps ahead of me.
647 650 0:10:47 0:10:50 So we are going to do the sum of the forces is equal to the mass times the acceleration.
651 656 0:10:51 0:10:56 And in order to keep track of these forces, I am going to draw something called the free body diagram.
657 658 0:10:57 0:10:58 Let me just do case one first.
658 660 0:10:58 0:11:00 I will have to do this twice once for each case.
661 662 0:11:01 0:11:02 So for case one,
663 665 0:11:03 0:11:05 I am going to do a free body diagram of what?
665 667 0:11:05 0:11:07 Well, there is just one block there.
667 670 0:11:07 0:11:10 So I am going to do it for block M. And I am going to go to this group here.
670 675 0:11:10 0:11:15 And I am going to say, quick, somebody give me one force that is on this object.
677 678 0:11:17 0:11:18 I have the frictional force.
678 679 0:11:18 0:11:19 And what direction?
679 680 0:11:19 0:11:20 Well, it is labeled there.
680 683 0:11:20 0:11:23 So we know the frictional force is kinetic friction.
683 685 0:11:23 0:11:25 It opposes the relative motion.
685 686 0:11:25 0:11:26 So it is right there.
687 689 0:11:27 0:11:29 Somebody in this section, give me another force on it.
691 703 0:11:31 0:11:43 Yeah, the force of gravity, which is, which, it is, and the direction is down, yep, exactly, it is the weight, so it is mg, and then somebody in this section, give me another force.
704 705 0:11:44 0:11:45 Going To go back.
708 712 0:11:48 0:11:52 Oh, you mean the ordinary force, like the everyday force, is that what normal means?
715 716 0:11:55 0:11:56 What direction is it?
716 722 0:11:56 0:12:02 Yeah, it is the normal force, which is the perpendicular force, meaning it is perpendicular to the surface.
722 725 0:12:02 0:12:05 And so now you can see how we have separated.
725 727 0:12:05 0:12:07 There is two things.
728 729 0:12:08 0:12:09 The table is touching.
730 734 0:12:10 0:12:14 this block here, and we break it down into two different forces.
734 742 0:12:14 0:12:22 The force that is perpendicular, the normal force that you just did, and the force that is parallel, which was the frictional force.
742 744 0:12:22 0:12:24 And I forget who that was offered here.
745 749 0:12:25 0:12:29 And so then I am back to this group, and I say, give me another force on this object.
754 755 0:12:34 0:12:35 There is no more forces?
757 759 0:12:37 0:12:39 Yeah, first you have got to say back off, Professor Stelzo.
763 763 0:12:43 0:12:43 So you are right.
764 765 0:12:44 0:12:45 And your explanation was exactly right.
766 776 0:12:46 0:12:56 The reason you know you have all the forces on it is we have gravity, and then we only have one thing touching it, and we got both the perpendicular and the parallel component.
777 779 0:12:57 0:12:59 That is the confidence you need to have.
780 781 0:13:00 0:13:01 You really need to know there is no more.
782 783 0:13:02 0:13:03 So now I can do this.
783 787 0:13:03 0:13:07 This is a vector equation, but let me do it in the x and y direction separately.
788 789 0:13:08 0:13:09 So I am going to start in the y direction.
791 796 0:13:11 0:13:16 I should label my coordinate axes, x and y. So in the y direction, I have the normal force pointing up.
797 798 0:13:17 0:13:18 I have the weight pointing down.
799 802 0:13:19 0:13:22 And it is not accelerating in the y direction, so that is 0.
803 805 0:13:23 0:13:25 So I get the normal force is equal to the weight.
806 808 0:13:26 0:13:28 Well, that did not help me at all with the friction.
808 810 0:13:28 0:13:30 So let us try it in the x direction.
811 815 0:13:31 0:13:35 is the mass times acceleration in the x direction.
815 823 0:13:35 0:13:43 In the x direction, I just have the frictional force, and it is to the left, so I put a minus sign in there, is the mass times acceleration.
825 826 0:13:45 0:13:46 They did not even ask for this.
826 830 0:13:46 0:13:50 They just asked for... Oh, you were right.
830 832 0:13:50 0:13:52 I wanted to use F equals ma.
832 834 0:13:52 0:13:54 I was so excited, but I did not even have to, did I?
835 837 0:13:55 0:13:57 No, I had to use it for the vertical direction.
837 839 0:13:57 0:13:59 OK, phew, safe.
840 843 0:14:00 0:14:03 But yeah, so all we want to know is this frictional force.
844 845 0:14:04 0:14:05 So we know the frictional force.
845 848 0:14:05 0:14:08 It is kinetic friction, so it is our friend.
849 855 0:14:09 0:14:15 So this frictional force is going to be equal to mu sub k times the normal force.
855 858 0:14:15 0:14:18 And then I needed to use F equals ma in the y direction.
859 862 0:14:19 0:14:22 So this was going to be mu sub k times mg.
863 865 0:14:23 0:14:25 So that is what the frictional force is.
872 879 0:14:32 0:14:39 So I would say that f sub 1 is going to be equal to mu sub k times mg.
879 883 0:14:39 0:14:43 f sub 2 is going to be equal to mu sub k times 2mg.
885 888 0:14:45 0:14:48 So f sub 1 is half as big as f sub 2.
889 891 0:14:49 0:14:51 So this is the correct answer.
898 902 0:14:58 0:15:02 Quiet, I just do not hear well, so quiet please, yeah.
906 908 0:15:06 0:15:08 Did you say why did we multiply by g?
909 910 0:15:09 0:15:10 Yeah, that is a good question.
910 917 0:15:10 0:15:17 So the force from gravity, when we are near the surface of the Earth, is always the mass times this number g, 9.8.
922 925 0:15:22 0:15:25 Yeah, the velocity did not show up anywhere.
925 926 0:15:25 0:15:26 Why did they do that to me?
926 928 0:15:26 0:15:28 I did not even need it.
928 929 0:15:28 0:15:29 Yeah, the velocity did not matter.
929 932 0:15:29 0:15:32 It mattered that there was a velocity, that it is not 0.
933 935 0:15:33 0:15:35 Because if it is at 0, then there would not be kinetic friction.
936 938 0:15:36 0:15:38 But otherwise, yeah, it did not matter at all.
939 939 0:15:39 0:15:39 Just that it is not 0.
940 943 0:15:40 0:15:43 Oh, that is annoying.
954 959 0:15:54 0:15:59 Do we know why static friction is generally bigger than kinetic friction?
963 963 0:16:03 0:16:03 Let us see.
964 966 0:16:04 0:16:06 So there are simple intuitive models.
966 968 0:16:06 0:16:08 I mean, the answer is yes.
968 972 0:16:08 0:16:12 And then there is multiple different levels of understanding.
972 975 0:16:12 0:16:15 For me, I think the simplest model is if you think about...
978 989 0:16:18 0:16:29 If you think about it sort of as bumps between the two things and the connections, then when it is just sitting there, it can kind of get in the rut, and it is harder to get it going.
990 994 0:16:30 0:16:34 And when you are going over it, it kind of does not fall all the way into those ruts.
994 999 0:16:34 0:16:39 It just kind of hits some.
999 1000 0:16:39 0:16:40 It is a model.
1000 1002 0:16:40 0:16:42 That is not exactly what is happening.
1002 1005 0:16:42 0:16:45 But then people do understand at the molecular level, too.
1007 1012 0:16:47 0:16:52 Okay, so this is just nice so that when I post it, you can see what is happening.
1015 1022 0:16:55 0:17:02 Um, so now, there is this pre-lecture question that we asked is, which one goes further?
1026 1027 0:17:06 0:17:07 And people really struggled with it.
1028 1031 0:17:08 0:17:11 So let us go ahead and just talk about this.
1032 1033 0:17:12 0:17:13 This is solved the same way.
1033 1034 0:17:13 0:17:14 It is the same problem.
1035 1037 0:17:15 0:17:17 As you pointed out, the velocity did not show up anywhere.
1038 1039 0:17:18 0:17:19 It did not matter.
1040 1047 0:17:20 0:17:27 But now, instead of asking which one has a bigger force, we are asking about the acceleration.
1049 1059 0:17:29 0:17:39 And the cool thing that happens, because the frictional force is proportional to the mass, these masses cancel out.
1060 1067 0:17:40 0:17:47 And so the acceleration due to kinetic friction does not depend on the mass.
1068 1074 0:17:48 0:17:54 And so if they start with the same initial velocity and they have the same acceleration, they will travel the same distance.
1075 1082 0:17:55 0:18:02 So that is how that one is supposed to go, but you can see only 43% got that right before.
1083 1087 0:18:03 0:18:07 So I did that quickly.
1087 1090 0:18:07 0:18:10 Are there questions about that?
1092 1096 0:18:12 0:18:16 I know in the pre-lecture things are happening fast, but we want you to be able to do this.
1097 1099 0:18:17 0:18:19 Well, I am going to give you some more practice.
1099 1101 0:18:19 0:18:21 Hey, let us talk about this truck.
1104 1107 0:18:24 0:18:27 Now we are going to talk about static friction.
1107 1115 0:18:27 0:18:35 Okay, so the idea with this truck is that, so instead of a truck, I have two books here.
1115 1123 0:18:35 0:18:43 So think of this bottom book as being like the truck, and the top book as being like the crate in the truck, and which way are we going to go.
1123 1128 0:18:43 0:18:48 And we start from rest, and then we accelerate faster and faster and faster this way.
1131 1136 0:18:51 0:18:56 That is static friction because there is no relative motion between these two books.
1137 1139 0:18:57 0:18:59 So it is static friction that is happening.
1140 1146 0:19:00 0:19:06 And your first job for you is to figure out what is the direction of that static friction
1148 1149 0:19:08 0:19:09 if there is any.
1149 1159 0:19:09 0:19:19 And a first question we should ask before we answer that is, are there any other horizontal forces?
1160 1162 0:19:20 0:19:22 So static friction is one horizontal force.
1163 1166 0:19:23 0:19:26 You can imagine me coming up to you and saying, OK, give me another force.
1167 1175 0:19:27 0:19:35 If I come up to you and say, give me another force, are you going to say, back off, Professor Stelzer, or are you going to tell me what the other horizontal force is acting on this?
1176 1187 0:19:36 0:19:47 So I am going to let you vote on this, chat with the person next to you, and then I am going to come up to somebody and I am going to ask them, back off, or are you going to give me the force?
1198 1200 0:19:58 0:20:00 Are you going to tell me to back off or are you going to give me a force?
1204 1206 0:20:04 0:20:06 How do you know?
1214 1216 0:20:14 0:20:16 How come you do not think there is any other forces?
1219 1221 0:20:19 0:20:21 So we agree there is friction.
1237 1238 0:20:37 0:20:38 There is another force.
1238 1241 0:20:38 0:20:41 There is gravity and there is the normal force.
1241 1243 0:20:41 0:20:43 You know it because there is nothing else touching it.
1245 1247 0:20:45 0:20:47 Nothing else touching it.
1248 1251 0:20:48 0:20:51 Alright I am going to go ahead and stop this in three, two, one.
1256 1263 0:20:56 0:21:03 And then I am going to go up to a student, and I am just going to cold call on them.
1263 1269 0:21:03 0:21:09 And they are going to have to either tell me the force or tell me to back off and just be thinking, oh, thank god.
1269 1271 0:21:09 0:21:11 You are all like, ha, ha, ha, he is on the other side.
1272 1273 0:21:12 0:21:13 But here we go.
1273 1277 0:21:13 0:21:17 I am going to go right here, and I am going to cold call on you.
1277 1278 0:21:17 0:21:18 What are you going to do?
1278 1279 0:21:18 0:21:19 Do you got a force for me, or should I back off?
1283 1284 0:21:23 0:21:24 Any other forces?
1284 1285 0:21:24 0:21:25 No other forces.
1285 1290 0:21:25 0:21:30 But he knows that I have a thin skin, so he is not willing to say back off.
1292 1293 0:21:32 0:21:33 There are no other forces.
1293 1295 0:21:33 0:21:35 How do we know there are no other forces?
1295 1297 0:21:35 0:21:37 I am going to try to see.
1297 1299 0:21:37 0:21:39 I am trying to get everybody a chance.
1299 1300 0:21:39 0:21:40 So yeah, go ahead.
1306 1308 0:21:46 0:21:48 Well, so we know that we have friction.
1308 1311 0:21:48 0:21:51 The question is, how do we know we do not have anything else?
1312 1313 0:21:52 0:21:53 We need friction.
1314 1315 0:21:54 0:21:55 And that is going to be the next question.
1315 1317 0:21:55 0:21:57 Again, you guys are always ahead of me.
1317 1319 0:21:57 0:21:59 How do I know that there is not an extra force?
1319 1320 0:21:59 0:22:00 Yeah, you are going to tell me?
1322 1323 0:22:02 0:22:03 How do I know there is not another force?
1327 1328 0:22:07 0:22:08 Tell me another force.
1335 1338 0:22:15 0:22:18 A force acting in the opposite direction of acceleration.
1338 1342 0:22:18 0:22:22 And so, yeah, it seems like there should be, because otherwise... ...
1358 1382 0:22:38 0:23:02 yeah yeah exactly so you bring up a really really good point and this is how most of the people answer this question is to say well there must be because i need it to stay at rest and i know i have static friction so i need to have another force but that is not the right way to think about it so that is what it looks like if you are on the truck if you are in the truck
1383 1390 0:23:03 0:23:10 what you will do is you will think there is another force, but that is because you are in an accelerating reference frame.
1390 1391 0:23:10 0:23:11 That truck is accelerating.
1392 1395 0:23:12 0:23:15 Do not do physics in the accelerating reference frame.
1395 1407 0:23:15 0:23:27 You need to be safely on the side of the road, and then you will identify that the only horizontal force is that frictional force because there is nothing else touching it.
1408 1416 0:23:28 0:23:36 Right, the only thing touching it, so we have gravity pulling down, the only thing touching it is the bottom of the truck.
1417 1420 0:23:37 0:23:40 So the bottom of the truck gives two forces.
1420 1431 0:23:40 0:23:51 It gives the perpendicular force to counteract gravity and then it gives the frictional force and that frictional force is somehow parallel here and it is whatever direction it needs to be in.
1432 1437 0:23:52 0:23:57 So the correct answer here is that there is only one horizontal force.
1437 1440 0:23:57 0:24:00 It is the static frictional force.
1444 1445 0:24:04 0:24:05 Other questions or comments?
1448 1449 0:24:08 0:24:09 So this is really hard.
1454 1459 0:24:14 0:24:19 Oh, there would still only be one horizontal force.
1459 1460 0:24:19 0:24:20 It would be friction.
1461 1463 0:24:21 0:24:23 The next question is, what is the direction of it?
1463 1465 0:24:23 0:24:25 And that is what we are going to do next.
1465 1471 0:24:25 0:24:31 So now that we know this is the only horizontal force, what direction is that horizontal force?
1474 1477 0:24:34 0:24:37 So friction is our only horizontal force.
1477 1479 0:24:37 0:24:39 That is the first thing we needed to know.
1482 1485 0:24:42 0:24:45 Now the question is, what direction is that force?
1500 1501 0:25:00 0:25:01 Yeah, that is exactly what we want you to do.
1504 1505 0:25:04 0:25:05 Now we are talking.
1515 1520 0:25:15 0:25:20 Yeah, the answer is that it is in the direction of the acceleration.
1522 1525 0:25:22 0:25:25 Because we know the block is accelerating.
1526 1528 0:25:26 0:25:28 We are standing safely by the side of the road.
1529 1537 0:25:29 0:25:37 And so what we see, if we just analyze this block and we stand by the side of the road, it is at rest and then it starts accelerating.
1538 1541 0:25:38 0:25:41 So there must be some force to cause that acceleration.
1541 1544 0:25:41 0:25:44 And that force is the static frictional force.
1546 1550 0:25:46 0:25:50 And it is static friction because it is not moving relative to the other thing.
1551 1558 0:25:51 0:25:58 And we know that if we accelerate, let us see, one question was, what happens if they start slowing down?
1558 1561 0:25:58 0:26:01 Well, if they slow down, then the acceleration is that way.
1561 1564 0:26:01 0:26:04 So the frictional force, the static frictional force is the other way.
1564 1567 0:26:04 0:26:07 And we know that if we accelerate too fast...
1568 1577 0:26:08 0:26:17 Well, the acceleration of this bottom one is too much, static friction will not be enough, and then the block would slide back.
1578 1580 0:26:18 0:26:20 All right, so let me show you an example of that.
1580 1586 0:26:20 0:26:26 Yeah, this is one of your answers.
1588 1591 0:26:28 0:26:31 So this is, lots of people explained it, where they were doing...
1592 1595 0:26:32 0:26:35 The physics on the truck, that is dangerous.
1595 1600 0:26:35 0:26:40 Get out of the truck, stand in an inertial reference frame, and do your analysis there.
1603 1603 0:26:43 0:26:43 There you go.
1605 1611 0:26:45 0:26:51 OK, so here is a nice example of somebody having a tough start to their morning.
1611 1614 0:26:51 0:26:54 I do not know if you have had days like this.
1615 1619 0:26:55 0:26:59 You will see it is going to restart here in a second.
1620 1627 0:27:00 0:27:07 Right, they put all the carts on the truck and their wheels and there was not static friction.
1627 1630 0:27:07 0:27:10 And so the cart stayed still and the truck accelerated away.
1631 1635 0:27:11 0:27:15 And the thing that I love the lesson here is watch this guy here.
1636 1638 0:27:16 0:27:18 This is who you want to be, right?
1638 1640 0:27:18 0:27:20 This awful thing happened.
1640 1641 0:27:20 0:27:21 This is a nightmare.
1641 1642 0:27:21 0:27:22 They are going to have so much work.
1642 1645 0:27:22 0:27:25 They have to get these back up and then onto the truck.
1646 1647 0:27:26 0:27:27 And this guy's great.
1647 1648 0:27:27 0:27:28 He just smiles and laughs.
1648 1649 0:27:28 0:27:29 And that is what you got to do.
1650 1655 0:27:30 0:27:35 When life throws you something like this, you just have to laugh at the irony of the whole thing.
1657 1661 0:27:37 0:27:41 So let us look at the following situation.
1661 1664 0:27:41 0:27:44 Now I am going to have a book.
1666 1669 0:27:46 0:27:49 Here, I have a block on a table.
1669 1672 0:27:49 0:27:52 I actually have a block here on a table.
1672 1673 0:27:52 0:27:53 And I am going to pull it.
1674 1675 0:27:54 0:27:55 And you will be able to see the force.
1675 1678 0:27:55 0:27:58 I am going to put a tension, and this is going to tell you what the force is.
1679 1684 0:27:59 0:28:04 And I want you to first tell me what is the magnitude of the net force on this block.
1685 1687 0:28:05 0:28:07 I am not going to pull it hard enough for it to move.
1687 1689 0:28:07 0:28:09 It is just going to stay there still.
1690 1694 0:28:10 0:28:14 What is the magnitude of the net force on this block?
1726 1727 0:28:46 0:28:47 All right, very good.
1734 1736 0:28:54 0:28:56 The correct answer is zero.
1737 1739 0:28:57 0:28:59 Somebody tell me why is that the correct answer?
1739 1741 0:28:59 0:29:01 Yeah, way in the back.
1756 1759 0:29:16 0:29:19 The key word you said there is that it is not moving.
1759 1763 0:29:19 0:29:23 The acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero.
1763 1768 0:29:23 0:29:28 Exactly right, which means the two are canceling each other out, which is the next step.
1768 1769 0:29:28 0:29:29 That is exactly correct.
1770 1773 0:29:30 0:29:33 All right, the acceleration is zero, so the net force must be zero.
1774 1776 0:29:34 0:29:36 So what is the static frictional force?
1805 1808 0:30:05 0:30:08 All right, let us go ahead and stop this.
1808 1812 0:30:08 0:30:12 You got it in three, two, one, we are done.
1815 1822 0:30:15 0:30:22 Yeah, it is whatever the tension is, because we know they have to add up to zero.
1822 1834 0:30:22 0:30:34 And so I am going to do the, an example here where I am going to use this spring scale so you can actually see what the tension is, how much tension I am pulling with.
1835 1839 0:30:35 0:30:39 So here, well first I am not pulling at all, so static friction is zero.
1839 1848 0:30:39 0:30:48 Now I am pulling with 40 newtons, so static friction, I am pulling to your right with 40 newtons, so static friction is to your left.
1849 1855 0:30:49 0:30:55 Now I am pulling to your right with 70 newtons, so static friction is to the left with 70 newtons.
1856 1859 0:30:56 0:30:59 It is not mu sub s times the normal force.
1859 1861 0:30:59 0:31:01 It is just counteracting tension.
1861 1865 0:31:01 0:31:05 And now I am starting to hurt my finger, and I am pulling with 90.
1866 1872 0:31:06 0:31:12 And so right around 90 was when I reached the maximum value that static friction can have.
1872 1891 0:31:12 0:31:31 now I have kinetic friction and you can see that it is just around 45 newtons so it is about half of what the static friction could be so so that is the important lesson there is that it really it really depends on how hard you are pulling and it can have any value
1893 1895 0:31:33 0:31:35 all the way up, in this case, to 90 Newtons.
1896 1906 0:31:36 0:31:46 And then once that happens, now we started accelerating, we started moving, and then no matter how hard I pull, it will be that kinetic frictional force, which is just a constant value.
1908 1909 0:31:48 0:31:49 Question or comment about that?
1911 1914 0:31:51 0:31:54 So super careful whenever we see static friction.
1917 1920 0:31:57 0:32:00 Now, the ramp problem, we have it right up here.
1920 1922 0:32:00 0:32:02 It shows up in physics a ton.
1923 1926 0:32:03 0:32:06 And there is one thing that is super annoying about it.
1926 1928 0:32:06 0:32:08 And you are going to ask yourself, you know what?
1929 1932 0:32:09 0:32:12 I wonder if I could still get a B if I just never got a ramp problem right.
1933 1943 0:32:13 0:32:23 And the answer is, I do not know, probably not, but it is always going to bug you, and your friends from Purdue are going to say, I can do the ramp problem.
1944 1946 0:32:24 0:32:26 So you want to be able to do it.
1946 1948 0:32:26 0:32:28 So let us go through this.
1949 1951 0:32:29 0:32:31 The thing that we are going to do,
1953 1962 0:32:33 0:32:42 is what we want to do is we only want the acceleration to be in, we want to choose our axis so the acceleration is along one of those axes.
1962 1964 0:32:42 0:32:44 So we do not have acceleration in two different directions.
1965 1976 0:32:45 0:32:56 And so I am going to put my axes, instead of being horizontal and vertical, I am going to make one direction going parallel the way the block is going to accelerate down the ramp.
1977 1979 0:32:57 0:32:59 And then the other one has to be perpendicular to that.
1980 1981 0:33:00 0:33:01 So those are my two directions.
1982 1983 0:33:02 0:33:03 That seems fine.
1983 1986 0:33:03 0:33:06 I am going to go ahead and draw my free body diagram.
1987 1993 0:33:07 0:33:13 And so the thing with my free body diagram is I am going to label gravity the weight of the object.
1994 1997 0:33:14 0:33:17 And this, I think here, we will just start with a frictionless ramp.
1997 1999 0:33:17 0:33:19 So the weight goes straight down.
2000 2005 0:33:20 0:33:25 And I used to love the weight, because when things are flat, it is just in the negative y direction, and it is great.
2006 2007 0:33:26 0:33:27 But that is not true anymore.
2008 2021 0:33:28 0:33:41 Now my x and y directions are funny, so I have to take this weight that is pointing straight down, and I need to break it down into two pieces, the part that is parallel to the ramp and the part that is perpendicular to the ramp.
2023 2025 0:33:43 0:33:45 So this is the technique that you need to learn.
2025 2031 0:33:45 0:33:51 And here is the annoying thing, I have this angle here, the angle of the ramp,
2032 2035 0:33:52 0:33:55 But I need to somehow get it with these angle of these forces here.
2036 2037 0:33:56 0:33:57 So I have to do some geometry.
2037 2039 0:33:57 0:33:59 And I am terrible at geometry.
2040 2049 0:34:00 0:34:09 In fact, the only thing I really know about geometry is that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, and the sum of the angles of a line is 180 degrees.
2050 2051 0:34:10 0:34:11 So I am going to try to get by with that.
2052 2054 0:34:12 0:34:14 So the first thing I notice is that the gravity
2055 2062 0:34:15 0:34:22 is straight down and this is flat here, the bottom of the ramp is flat, so that angle is 90 degrees.
2063 2067 0:34:23 0:34:27 The sum of these three things has to be 180, so the angle up here must be 90 minus theta.
2073 2074 0:34:33 0:34:34 Not quite where I need to be yet.
2075 2077 0:34:35 0:34:37 But now I need one more step.
2077 2084 0:34:37 0:34:44 And I know that here, remember, this blue line here is perpendicular to the ramp.
2084 2085 0:34:44 0:34:45 That is how I chose it.
2086 2087 0:34:46 0:34:47 So that is a 90-degree angle.
2088 2090 0:34:48 0:34:50 And now this straight line is 180 degrees.
2090 2092 0:34:50 0:34:52 So that angle there is theta.
2093 2096 0:34:53 0:34:56 Now I have the triangle that I need.
2096 2100 0:34:56 0:35:00 And then I need to remember, is it Sokota?
2101 2102 0:35:01 0:35:02 I do not know.
2102 2105 0:35:02 0:35:05 How did you guys learn your sines, cosines, and tangents?
2109 2117 0:35:09 0:35:17 Whatever, however you remember it, for me I know that the adjacent is the cosine and the opposite is the sine.
2118 2120 0:35:18 0:35:20 And so I put those in there.
2120 2122 0:35:20 0:35:22 And now I have, that is the hard part.
2123 2130 0:35:23 0:35:30 Now I have done the part for getting, you know, gravity and knowing which part is parallel and which part is perpendicular.
2132 2133 0:35:32 0:35:33 You just practice it a bunch.
2134 2135 0:35:34 0:35:35 It is always like this.
2135 2138 0:35:35 0:35:38 There is nothing strange that ever comes out of it.
2138 2139 0:35:38 0:35:39 It is just sine or cosine.
2140 2143 0:35:40 0:35:43 I always check by saying, well, what happens if I made it flat?
2143 2145 0:35:43 0:35:45 Because I understand flat.
2145 2146 0:35:45 0:35:46 That is when it is not a ramp.
2146 2152 0:35:46 0:35:52 And I know that there should be no horizontal component of gravity.
2152 2155 0:35:52 0:35:55 And you can just check that sine of 0 is 0.
2155 2156 0:35:55 0:35:56 So it works.
2157 2159 0:35:57 0:35:59 Okay, so you have seen it here.
2159 2162 0:35:59 0:36:02 I know you are like, geez, I wish I could practice this more.
2162 2163 0:36:02 0:36:03 And guess what?
2164 2166 0:36:04 0:36:06 I put a ton of these on the homework.
2166 2168 0:36:06 0:36:08 And so you are going to get to practice that.
2168 2169 0:36:08 0:36:09 And you will just get good at it.
2170 2172 0:36:10 0:36:12 And I will put it on the exam for you, too.
2173 2175 0:36:13 0:36:15 So, yeah, no need to thank me now.
2179 2184 0:36:19 0:36:24 So here was a question about the static frictional force acting on the box.
2185 2188 0:36:25 0:36:28 And here was the answer distribution.
2188 2195 0:36:28 0:36:35 Most people said the static frictional force on the box was mu sub s times the weight times the cosine of theta.
2196 2202 0:36:36 0:36:42 That is the correct answer if I asked for what is the maximum static frictional force that could be on the box.
2203 2205 0:36:43 0:36:45 But that is not what we asked.
2206 2209 0:36:46 0:36:49 It is static friction, so you have got to be careful.
2209 2222 0:36:49 0:37:02 We know that the net force is zero, and so basically what we know is that the static frictional force has to cancel out the component of the weight that is parallel.
2223 2228 0:37:03 0:37:08 So the correct answer here is actually mg sine theta.
2228 2232 0:37:08 0:37:12 Okay, so again, just do not get...
2233 2234 0:37:13 0:37:14 Just be really careful.
2234 2236 0:37:14 0:37:16 This is a common mistake.
2236 2239 0:37:16 0:37:19 And on multiple choice exams, it is one of the choices.
2240 2242 0:37:20 0:37:22 And so I do not want you to lose those points.
2243 2244 0:37:23 0:37:24 Any question or comment there?
2257 2269 0:37:37 0:37:49 Yeah, that is a good question, is if I was on the ramp and I was accelerating upward, is that what you want to do, is you want to have it accelerate upward?
2270 2277 0:37:50 0:37:57 Yeah, because, you know, the sum of them is equal to the acceleration, and so you would need more static frictional force.
2277 2284 0:37:57 0:38:04 And so if the truck is going up a ramp, things are, like, accelerating, it is more likely that it will slide.
2289 2290 0:38:09 0:38:10 Things going in a circle, oh yeah.
2290 2292 0:38:10 0:38:12 So this has a really important point here.
2295 2297 0:38:15 0:38:17 Wheels are super, super useful.
2297 2302 0:38:17 0:38:22 I mean, they just like, they were a really good idea, all right?
2303 2304 0:38:23 0:38:24 There is no denying it.
2305 2310 0:38:25 0:38:30 Now here is the thing about wheels that is counterintuitive when we talk about friction.
2311 2320 0:38:31 0:38:40 Because the wheel, in order for the wheel to work well, there is friction with the road or the surface that you are going across.
2321 2325 0:38:41 0:38:45 And you would think, well, it is moving, so it should be kinetic friction, right?
2327 2329 0:38:47 0:38:49 Here is the crazy thing, it is not.
2329 2336 0:38:49 0:38:56 If you look at a wheel, the magic of the wheel is the fact that the part that is in contact is standing still.
2336 2346 0:38:56 0:39:06 The exception to this is if you are on your bike and you just lock up the brakes and it skids, that is kinetic friction.
2346 2354 0:39:06 0:39:14 But when you are rolling without slipping, like I am here, the part in contact is actually static friction.
2355 2363 0:39:15 0:39:23 that is static friction because, and you can just come up here and see, the part that is touching the table is not moving.
2364 2368 0:39:24 0:39:28 And you can see the difference because if I hold on to this, now that would be kinetic friction.
2369 2371 0:39:29 0:39:31 Static friction is that it does not move.
2372 2378 0:39:32 0:39:38 And that is actually what makes the wheel so useful, the fact that you are using static friction there instead of kinetic friction.
2378 2383 0:39:38 0:39:43 And so it is that less than or equal to sign that you have there.
2384 2386 0:39:44 0:39:46 So it can be a small force.
2388 2400 0:39:48 0:40:00 So there is an example of this where you figure out if you are going around in a circular track, so we are not going to speed up or slow down, but we are changing direction, there is an acceleration associated with that.
2402 2408 0:40:02 0:40:08 And they did this in the, I mean this is from the, this is from your pre-lecture.
2410 2415 0:40:10 0:40:15 And you say, well, if there was no friction, you would not go around.
2415 2416 0:40:15 0:40:16 And this happens.
2416 2421 0:40:16 0:40:21 You will get to experience it this winter when there is ice on the road, and you try to turn, and there is not enough friction.
2421 2423 0:40:21 0:40:23 You just go in a straight line.
2424 2426 0:40:24 0:40:26 And so it is a frictional force.
2426 2427 0:40:26 0:40:27 It is towards the center.
2428 2435 0:40:28 0:40:35 And then one of the questions we can say is, so the frictional force has to be the thing getting you to accelerate to the center.
2437 2445 0:40:37 0:40:45 And if you want to know what is the fastest you can go around this turn, well, you know the frictional force has a maximum value.
2445 2447 0:40:45 0:40:47 Static friction has a maximum value.
2448 2452 0:40:48 0:40:52 The maximum value is equal to mu sub s times the normal force.
2454 2459 0:40:54 0:40:59 And so you can see, again, we are going to see the masses cancel out here, which is kind of nice.
2460 2462 0:41:00 0:41:02 So that is another example of this.
2465 2467 0:41:05 0:41:07 Yeah, any questions or comments there?
2468 2473 0:41:08 0:41:13 It is a little bit funny to do the drawing, but you will get lots of practice here.
2473 2478 0:41:13 0:41:18 I think that is all I want to say there right now.
2480 2488 0:41:20 0:41:28 Okay, now let us do, you know, blocks attached by strings, which creates great stress.
2489 2500 0:41:29 0:41:40 Here, it looks like it is the same problem, but case one is when we had a frictionless surface, so there is no friction between M2 and the tabletop.
2501 2504 0:41:41 0:41:44 And case two, we have friction.
2506 2507 0:41:46 0:41:47 Let us make it kinetic friction.
2507 2509 0:41:47 0:41:49 So in both cases, they are going to accelerate.
2510 2511 0:41:50 0:41:51 It is kinetic friction.
2512 2518 0:41:52 0:41:58 In which case, oh, well, the question we ask is, which case is the tension in the string biggest?
2518 2520 0:41:58 0:42:00 Let us ask you a simpler question here.
2521 2526 0:42:01 0:42:06 In which case is the acceleration of the blocks the biggest, the magnitude of the acceleration?
2526 2531 0:42:06 0:42:11 When do you get the biggest acceleration, when there is no friction or when you have friction?
2532 2533 0:42:12 0:42:13 So let us start there.
2533 2534 0:42:13 0:42:14 When do we get the biggest acceleration?
2540 2543 0:42:20 0:42:23 We are not going to spend a lot of time.
2543 2545 0:42:23 0:42:25 Your intuition is good here.
2558 2561 0:42:38 0:42:41 Go ahead, get your vote in in three, two, one.
2564 2568 0:42:44 0:42:48 Yeah, the acceleration is biggest when there is no friction.
2569 2573 0:42:49 0:42:53 Friction is, in case two here, is going to oppose the motion.
2574 2575 0:42:54 0:42:55 It is going to slow this down.
2575 2577 0:42:55 0:42:57 It is going to have it accelerate less.
2578 2581 0:42:58 0:43:01 In fact, if you make the frictional force large enough, it will just stop.
2582 2582 0:43:02 0:43:02 It will not accelerate.
2584 2586 0:43:04 0:43:06 So that is what is going on there.
2587 2590 0:43:07 0:43:10 This is a brilliant comment by one of you.
2590 2601 0:43:10 0:43:21 And I brought it up here just because this person is saying, well, it looks like it is supposed to accelerate with mg, like it is just supposed to be gravity pulling it down.
2602 2605 0:43:22 0:43:25 And if it accelerated with mg, would not that mean that the tension would be zero?
2606 2608 0:43:26 0:43:28 So the tension must always be zero here.
2608 2609 0:43:28 0:43:29 And it is just brilliant.
2610 2615 0:43:30 0:43:35 Of course, we know that everything they are saying here, the reasoning is perfect.
2616 2618 0:43:36 0:43:38 And then they say, so what is the resolution?
2619 2621 0:43:39 0:43:41 Well, the resolution is not that the tension is zero.
2621 2624 0:43:41 0:43:44 The resolution is that it does not accelerate with mg.
2624 2625 0:43:44 0:43:45 That is what is going on.
2626 2633 0:43:46 0:43:53 And so I just really wanted to do this as an example of a great way to make sure you are understanding physics, really asking yourself these questions.
2635 2641 0:43:55 0:44:01 So in which case is the tension in the spring in the string going to be the biggest?
2642 2647 0:44:02 0:44:07 And so let me go ahead and just ask you that, and then we will work through it.
2700 2702 0:45:00 0:45:02 Which case is it the biggest?
2707 2708 0:45:07 0:45:08 Or it is the same.
2710 2712 0:45:10 0:45:12 So the friction does not change the tension.
2723 2729 0:45:23 0:45:29 Let us go ahead and stop this in three, two, one.
2734 2739 0:45:34 0:45:39 Yeah, so it is a harder question here.
2742 2746 0:45:42 0:45:46 And so the way to figure it out is to do the free body diagram.
2747 2752 0:45:47 0:45:52 And so we could do it for block one, block two, or the combination of blocks one and two.
2753 2755 0:45:53 0:45:55 We will just look at block one here.
2755 2758 0:45:55 0:45:58 And so I already did the forces for you.
2758 2759 0:45:58 0:45:59 We have the tension up.
2760 2761 0:46:00 0:46:01 We have the weight down.
2761 2764 0:46:01 0:46:04 It is going to be the mass times the acceleration.
2765 2766 0:46:05 0:46:06 We have the same thing here.
2766 2770 0:46:06 0:46:10 I mean, they are identical as far as block one is concerned.
2772 2774 0:46:12 0:46:14 But the acceleration is different.
2774 2778 0:46:14 0:46:18 Remember, we have a bigger acceleration in case one than we have in case two.
2780 2782 0:46:20 0:46:22 The weight force is the same.
2783 2790 0:46:23 0:46:30 So if I want this one to accelerate faster, I need a smaller tension force.
2795 2796 0:46:35 0:46:36 So the weight is the same.
2797 2802 0:46:37 0:46:42 If I wanted to accelerate faster, the tension force has to be smaller.
2804 2807 0:46:44 0:46:47 And so case two is the correct answer.
2808 2810 0:46:48 0:46:50 But let us go ahead and just work through this problem.
2811 2813 0:46:51 0:46:53 It is a classic problem.
2816 2818 0:46:56 0:46:58 So let us go ahead and work it out.
2819 2821 0:46:59 0:47:01 What we need to do is draw free body diagrams.
2822 2825 0:47:02 0:47:05 And as always, I am running a little bit low on time.
2826 2830 0:47:06 0:47:10 So I am going to go ahead and take care of doing block one.
2831 2833 0:47:11 0:47:13 So it is just got this.
2833 2835 0:47:13 0:47:15 Block two, quick, give me a force.
2835 2837 0:47:15 0:47:17 Somebody here, give me a force on block two.
2839 2843 0:47:19 0:47:23 What is it, friction?
2844 2845 0:47:24 0:47:25 Tension, tension, great.
2846 2848 0:47:26 0:47:28 So tension is to the right.
2848 2849 0:47:28 0:47:29 It is pulling.
2849 2850 0:47:29 0:47:30 Give me another force on block two.
2852 2856 0:47:32 0:47:36 And this is kinetic friction, so I know its direction.
2857 2859 0:47:37 0:47:39 And then give me another force on block two.
2859 2860 0:47:39 0:47:40 Somebody over here?
2861 2863 0:47:41 0:47:43 The normal force, yeah, perpendicular to the table.
2864 2866 0:47:44 0:47:46 And then I am not even going to play the game here.
2866 2867 0:47:46 0:47:47 There is nothing else touching it.
2867 2869 0:47:47 0:47:49 We have the two forces from the table.
2870 2874 0:47:50 0:47:54 And so then we can write F equals MA for each one of these blocks.
2875 2876 0:47:55 0:47:56 Oh, we did not do gravity yet.
2876 2877 0:47:56 0:47:57 Oh, I am sorry.
2880 2881 0:48:00 0:48:01 M2G, yes, it has gravity.
2881 2883 0:48:01 0:48:03 I thought we got that one first.
2884 2884 0:48:04 0:48:04 That is better.
2887 2888 0:48:07 0:48:08 So here we can do...
2889 2895 0:48:09 0:48:15 that the sum of the forces in the y direction is mass times acceleration in the y direction.
2895 2900 0:48:15 0:48:20 T minus the weight is equal to a sub 1.
2903 2913 0:48:23 0:48:33 Here, in the y direction, we get the normal force minus the weight is going to be equal to 0, because it does not accelerate in the y direction.
2914 2926 0:48:34 0:48:46 In the x direction, we get the tension minus the kinetic frictional force is equal to the mass times the acceleration of block one in the x direction.
2927 2928 0:48:47 0:48:48 Sorry, block two.
2930 2938 0:48:50 0:48:58 And then what we have here now, we can finish this up.
2938 2943 0:48:58 0:49:03 It is kinetic friction, so this is just mu sub k times the normal force.
2944 2946 0:49:04 0:49:06 which is equal to the weight.
2948 2950 0:49:08 0:49:10 And so this is going to be m2 a2.
2953 2962 0:49:13 0:49:22 And now we have two equations and three unknowns.
2964 2969 0:49:24 0:49:29 We do not know the tension, we do not know acceleration 1, and we do not know acceleration 2.
2970 2971 0:49:30 0:49:31 So we need another equation.
2972 2988 0:49:32 0:49:48 And what we need to know is that because these are connected by a string, the acceleration of 2 in the positive direction is equal, positive y is equal to the acceleration of 1 in the positive x is y in the negative direction for 1.
2989 2992 0:49:49 0:49:52 So we need to write down that a2 is equal to minus a1.
2994 2997 0:49:54 0:49:57 And now we have three equations and three unknowns, and you can solve it.
2998 3002 0:49:58 0:50:02 And I am out of time, so I am going to leave it there.
3003 3008 0:50:03 0:50:08 Have a fantastic weekend, and we will see you next week.
