Question

two workers are sliding 260 kg crate across the floor. one worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 450 n while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 370 n using a rope connected to the crate. both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. what is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?

Answer 1

To find out the kinetic friction, using the coefficient friction formula.

What is kinetic friction?

A force that acts between moving surfaces is called "kinetic friction." A force acting in opposition to the direction of a moving body on the surface is felt. The two materials' kinetic friction coefficients will determine how much force is applied.

What is coefficient friction?

A measure of the degree of friction between two surfaces is the coefficient of friction. A coefficient of friction is determined by calculating the resistance to motion at the intersection of two surfaces made of the same or different materials.

UK

U-coefficient of friction

K-Kinetic friction

Using UK

450+370-f=m*o

f=820=UK*260*9.8

UK=2.548

820/2.548

UK= 321.8210361

Therefore the coefficient of kinetic friction is 321.8210361
