Force is a measure of the interaction between bodies, mass is a measure of the amount of material in an object, weight is the gravitational force acting on a body (although for trading purposes it is taken to mean the same as mass) and load usually means the force exerted on a surface or body

On a horizontal surface is located

Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

n - w = 0

where n = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and w = weight of the object. Hence n = w = mg = 196 N, where m = 20 kg and g = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of static friction µ is such that

80 N = µ (196 N) → µ = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of kinetic friction ν is

40 N = ν (196 N) → ν = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: µ and ν are the Greek letters mu and nu)
