Answer:


\displaystyle T=48.86\ N

Step-by-step explanation:

Net Force

The second Newton's law explains how to understand the dynamics of a system where several forces are acting. The forces are vectorial magnitudes which means the x and y coordinates must be treated separately. For each component, the net force must equal the mass by the acceleration, i.e.


F_(nx)=ma_x


F_(ny)=ma_y

The box with mass m=20 kg is pulled by a rope with a
\theta= 30^o angle above the horizontal. It means that force (called T) has two components:


T_x=Tcos\theta


T_y=Tsin\theta

We'll assume the positive directions are to the right and upwards and that the box is being pulled to the right. There are two forces in the x-axis: The x-component of T (to the right) and the friction force (to the left). So the equilibrium equation for x is


\displaystyle T\ cos\theta -Fr=m.a

There are three forces acting in the y-axis: The component of T (upwards), the weight (downwards), and the Normal (upwards). Since there is no movement in the y-axis, the net force is zero and:


\displaystyle N+T\ sin\theta -mg=0

Rearranging:


\displaystyle N+T\ sin\theta =mg

Solving for N in the y-axis:


\displaystyle N=mg-T\ sin\theta

The friction force is given by


\displaystyle Fr=\mu.N

Replacing in the equation for the x-axis, we have


\displaystyle T\ cos\theta -\mu\ N=ma

Replacing the formula for N in the equation for the x-axis


\displaystyle T\ cos\theta -\mu(mg-T\ sin\theta)=ma

Operating and rearranging


\displaystyle T\ cos\theta -\mu\ mg+T\ \mu\ sin\theta=ma


\displaystyle T\ (cos\theta +\mu\ sin\theta)=ma +\mu\ mg

Solving for T:


\displaystyle T=(a+\mu\ g)/(cos\theta +\mu\ sin\theta )\ m

Plugging in the given values:


\displaystyle T=(0.4+0.2(9.8))/(cos30^o+0.2\ sin30^o )\ .20


\boxed{\displaystyle T=48.86\ N}
