A box of books weighing 325 N moves at a constant velocity across the floor when the box is pushed with a force of 425 N exerted downward at an angle of 35.2 degrees below the horizontal. Fink Mu,k between the box and the floor

Respuesta :

The coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is 0.61.

The given parameters;

  • weight of the box, W = 325 N
  • force applied on the box, 425 N
  • inclination of the force, θ

The normal force on the box is calculated as follows;

Fₙ = 325 + 425sin(35.2)

Fₙ = 569.8 N

The frictional force on the box is calculated as;

[tex]F_k = Fcos(\theta)\\\\F_k = 425 \times cos(35.2)\\\\F_k = 347.225 \ N[/tex]

The coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is calculated as follows;

[tex]F_k = \mu_kF_n[/tex]

[tex]\mu_k = \frac{F_k}{F_n} \\\\\mu_k = \frac{347.225}{569.8} \\\\\mu_k = 0.61[/tex]

Thus, the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is 0.61.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.60.

Given data:

The weight of box is, W = 325 N.

The magnitude of force on the box is, F = 425 N.

The angle with respect to the horizontal is, [tex]\theta = 35.2^{\circ}[/tex].

The frictional force acting on the box provides the linear acceleration to box. Then,

[tex]f=Fcos\theta\\f = 425 \times cos35.2\\f=347.28 \;\rm N[/tex]

Frictional force is also expressed as,

[tex]f = \mu_{k} \times N[/tex]

Here, N is the normal force and its value is, [tex]N = W+Fsin\theta[/tex].

Solving as,

[tex]f = \mu_{k} \times (W+Fsin\theta)\\347.28 = \mu_{k} \times (325+425 \times sin35.2)\\ \mu_{k} = 0.60[/tex]

Thus, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.60.
