Answer:
T= 38.38 N
Explanation:
Here
mass of can = m = 3 kg
g= 9.8 m/sec2
angle θ = 40°
From figure we see the vertical and horizontal component of tension force T
If the can is to slip - then horizontal component of tension force should become equal to force of friction.
First we find force of friction
Fs= μ R
where
μ = 0.76
R = weight of can = mg = 3 × 9.8 = 29.4 N
Now horizontal component of tension
Tx= T cos 40 = T× 0.7660 N
==>T× 0.7660 = 29.4
==> T= 38.38 N
