Question 46
Medium

A heavy crate of mass m m\,m is pulled up a rough ramp inclined at an angle θ \theta\,θ to the horizontal by a rope. The rope is parallel to the ramp and exerts a constant tension TTT. The crate is observed to move up the ramp at a constant velocity.

Crate on inclined plane

Which of the following expressions correctly gives the magnitude of the frictional force F F\,F acting on the crate?

F=T+mgsin⁡θF = T + mg \sin\thetaF=T+mgsinθ

F=T−mgsin⁡θF = T - mg \sin\thetaF=T−mgsinθ

F=mgsin⁡θ−TF = mg \sin\theta - TF=mgsinθ−T

F=T−mgcos⁡θF = T - mg \cos\thetaF=T−mgcosθ
