Question

A thin 1.5 mm coating of glycerine has been placed between two microscope slides of width 0.8 cm and length 3.9 cm . Find the force required to pull one of the microscope slides at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other.

Answer 1

The  force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

Force required to pull one end at a constant speed

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F = ma

where;

• m is mass
• a is acceleration

At a constant speed, the acceleration of the object will be zero.

F = m x 0

F = 0

Thus, the  force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.
