| 2 | [katex]F_{\text{normal}} = mg\cos(\theta)[/katex] | Normal force, perpendicular to the incline. |
| 3 | [katex]F_{\text{friction}} = \mu_k F_{\text{normal}}[/katex] | Frictional force, where [katex]\mu_k[/katex] is the coefficient of kinetic friction. |
| 4 | [katex]F_{\text{friction}} = 0.250 \times mg\cos(25^\circ)[/katex] | Substitute values for [katex]\mu_k[/katex] and [katex]F_{\text{normal}}[/katex]. |
| 5 | [katex]F_{\text{pull}} = F_{\text{parallel}} + F_{\text{friction}}[/katex] | Total force to pull the crate includes parallel force and frictional force. |
| 6 | [katex]F_{\text{pull}} = mg\sin(25^\circ) + 0.250 \times mg\cos(25^\circ)[/katex] | Combine parallel and frictional forces. |
| 7 | [katex]W_{\text{output}} = F_{\text{parallel}} \times d[/katex] | Work output, where [katex]F_{\text{parallel}}[/katex] is the force parallel to the incline and [katex]d[/katex] is the distance. |
| 8 | [katex]W_{\text{output}} = mg\sin(25^\circ) \times 2.5[/katex] | Work done against gravity. |
| 9 | [katex]W_{\text{input}} = F_{\text{pull}} \times d[/katex] | Work input, force to pull the crate. |

| 11 | [katex]\text{Efficiency} = \frac{W_{\text{output}}}{W_{\text{input}}} \times 100%[/katex] | Efficiency formula. |
| 12 | [katex]\text{Efficiency} = \frac{mg\sin(25^\circ) \times 2.5}{\left( mg\sin(25^\circ) + 0.250 \times mg\cos(25^\circ) \right) \times 2.5} \times 100%[/katex] | Substitute [katex]W_{\text{output}}[/katex] and [katex]W_{\text{input}}[/katex]. |
| 13 | [katex]\text{Efficiency} = \frac{\sin(25^\circ)}{\sin(25^\circ) + 0.250 \times \cos(25^\circ)} \times 100%[/katex] | Simplify by canceling [katex]mg[/katex] and [katex]d[/katex]. |
| 14 | [katex]\text{Efficiency} = 65.10\%[/katex] | Calculated efficiency. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
In the laboratory, you are given a cylindrical beaker containing a fluid and you are asked to determine the density \( \rho \) of the fluid. You are to use a spring of negligible mass and unknown spring constant \( k \) that is attached to a vertical stand.
A simple pendulum consists of a bob of mass 1.8 kg attached to a string of length 2.3 m. The pendulum is held at an angle of 30° from the vertical by a light horizontal string attached to a wall, as shown above.
List at least 2 everyday forces that are not conservative, and explain why they aren’t.
A block of mass [katex] m [/katex] is moving on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed [katex] v_0 [/katex] as it approaches a block of mass [katex] 2m [/katex] which is at rest and has an ideal spring attached to one side.
When the two blocks collide, the spring is completely compressed and the two blocks momentarily move at the same speed, and then separate again, each continuing to move.
An object undergoing simple harmonic motion has a maximum displacement of \(6.2\) \(\text{m}\) at \(t = 0.0\) \(\text{s}\). If the angular frequency of oscillation is \(1.6\) \(\text{rad/s}\), what is the object’s displacement when \(t = 3.5\) \(\text{s}\)?

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
