A particle of mass 5kg is held at rests on a slope inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction for the slope is 0.7, determine whether the particle will move when released.

Frictional force acting:FMax= uR = 0.7 x 5 x 9.81 x cos(30) FMax = 29.7NWeight acting down the slope:F = 5 x 9.81 x sin(30)F = 24.5NFric...

Find values of x in the interval 0<x<360 degrees. For which 5sin^2(x) + 5 sin(x) +4 cos^2(x)=0

This question is split up into two parts.
Firstly recall the trigonometric identities you know, the trick here is to eliminate one of the squared terms. Using 4sin^2(x) +4cos^2(x) = 4, the cos term i...
