Question

Using a horizontal force of 200 n, we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a floor at a constant velocity. What is the friction force that will be exerted on the cabinet?.

Answer 1

By using the second law of Newton, the frictional force is 200N.

We need to know about the second law of Newton (force) to solve this problem. The total force applied an object is proportional to the mass of object and acceleration. It can be defined as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

From the question above, we know that

F1 = 200N

v = constant therefore (a = 0 m/s²)

By using second law of Newton, we get

∑F = m . a

F1 - Ffriction = m . 0

200 - Ffriction = 0

Ffriction = 200 N

Hence, the frictional force is 200N.
