A gorilla is pulling a bag of oranges with a rope attached to the bag at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the floor, using a force of 200 N. The total mass of the bag and the oranges is 20 kg.
a. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.500, will the gorilla be able to move the bag of oranges? (Answer is yes, need explanation)
b. If yes, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is equal to 0.250 determine the acceleration, assuming the applied force stays the same. (Answer is a = 7.46 m/s^2, need work to get there).
c. What would the force that the gorilla would need to apply in order for there to be a constant velocity? (answer is 27.7 N, need work to get there).
