To solve for the acceleration of the block when the final washer is added, we can use Newton's second law of motion , as well as the coefficients of static and kinetic friction. ;
To find the acceleration when the last washer is added, we first calculate the gravitational force on the bucket, then the force of kinetic friction acting on the block. Finally, we apply Newton's second law to determine that the acceleration is approximately 0.55 m/s².
