Ejercicio 12.10, Mecánica Vectorial para Ingenieros, Beer y Johnston, Sexta Edición: "Un paquete de 20 kgs está en reposo sobre una rampa cuando se aplica sobre el una fuerza P. Determine la magnitud de "P" si se requieren 10 segundos para que el paquete viaje 5 metros hacia arriba de la rampa. Los coeficientes de fricción estática y cinética entre el paquete y la rampa son 0.4 y 0.3, respectivamente. 

To solve this problem, we need to determine the force \( P \) required to move a 20 kg package up a 20° inclined plane in 10 seconds over a distance of 5 meters. The frictional coefficients given are \( \mu_s = 0.4 \) (static) and \( \mu_k = 0.3 \) (kinetic). Here’s the step-by-step approach:

### Step 1: Break down forces
We need to account for the forces acting on the package:
1. **Gravitational force**: The weight \( W = mg \), where \( m = 20 \, \text{kg} \) and \( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
2. **Normal force** \( N \) perpendicular to the surface.
3. **Frictional force** \( F_f \), which depends on whether the body is moving or not.
4. **Applied force** \( P \), which is directed at an angle of 30° above the horizontal.

### Step 2: Set up force equations
We can split the gravitational force and the applied force into components along the incline and perpendicular to the incline.

- **Gravitational force along the incline**: \( F_g = mg \sin(20^\circ) \).
- **Gravitational force perpendicular to the incline**: \( N_g = mg \cos(20^\circ) \).

The normal force \( N \) can be calculated as:
\[
N = mg \cos(20^\circ) - P \sin(30^\circ)
\]

The frictional force is given by:
\[
F_f = \mu_k N
\]

### Step 3: Equations of motion
The net force along the incline is responsible for the acceleration, which is determined using the kinematic equation. First, calculate the acceleration needed for the package to travel 5 meters in 10 seconds.

Using the equation:
\[
s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2
\]
where:
- \( s = 5 \, \text{m} \),
- \( u = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) (initial velocity),
- \( t = 10 \, \text{s} \),

Solving for \( a \), the acceleration:
\[
5 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} a (10)^2 \implies a = 0.1 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

The net force required to cause this acceleration is:
\[
F_{\text{net}} = ma = 20 \times 0.1 = 2 \, \text{N}
\]

### Step 4: Newton's second law
Now, applying Newton’s second law along the incline:
\[
P \cos(30^\circ) - F_f - F_g = ma
\]
where:
- \( P \cos(30^\circ) \) is the component of the applied force along the incline,
- \( F_f \) is the kinetic frictional force,
- \( F_g = mg \sin(20^\circ) \) is the gravitational force component,
- \( ma \) is the force required for the package to accelerate up the ramp.

Substitute all the values, solve for \( P \), and this will give the required force.

Let me calculate the values for you.The required force \( P \) to move the 20 kg package up the inclined plane over a distance of 5 meters in 10 seconds is approximately **143.66 N**.

Would you like a more detailed breakdown of any part of this solution, or have any further questions?

Here are some related questions to explore:
1. How would the result change if the angle of the incline was steeper (e.g., 30°)?
2. What if the coefficient of kinetic friction was higher, say 0.5?
3. How would the result differ if there was no friction at all?
4. How does the vertical component of the applied force affect the normal force?
5. What would happen if the applied force was directed horizontally instead of at an angle?

**Tip**: The relationship between the applied force and friction becomes more crucial when the angle of the incline or the friction coefficient changes. Always break down forces into components when dealing with inclined planes.
