  • Wooden Crate Motion: Force, Friction, Work done

    This solution contains step-by-step calculations to determine the force of the rope on the crate, force of friction and work done.

  • Understanding Pseudo Force

    As there is no friction between the belt and the crate, there is no forward dragging force on the crate; the belt just slips below the crate.

  • Friction and Temperature Change Situation

    (The frictional force opposes the motion of the crate, so the work done on the crate by friction must be a negative quantity.)

  • magnitude of pushing force P on the crate

    The solution shows how to calculate the force pushing a crate such that the net work done on the crate is 0.
