Answer:
0.36
Explanation:
The maximum force of friction exerted by the surface is given by:
(1)
where
is the coefficient of friction
N is the normal reaction
The shed's weight is 2200 N. Since there is no motion along the vertical direction, the normal reaction is equal and opposite to the weight, so
N = 2200 N
The horizontal force that is pushing the shed is
F = 800 N
In order for it to keep moving, the force of friction (which acts horizontally in the opposite direction) must be not greater than this value. So the maximum force of friction must be
And substituting the values into eq.(1), we can find the maximum value of the coefficient of friction:

Hi!
The correct answer would be: the width of I-bands
The sacromere is the smallest contractile unit of striated muscles. These units comprise of filaments (fibrous proteins) that, upon muscle contraction or relaxation, slide past each other. The sacromere consists of thick filaments (myosin) and thin filaments (actin).
<em>Refer to the attached picture to clearly see the structure of a sacromere.</em>
<u>When a sacromere contracts, a series of changes take place which include:</u>
<em>- Shortening of I band, and consequently the H zone</em>
<em>- The A line remains unchanged</em>
<em>- Z lines come closer to each other (and this is due to the shortening of the I bands) </em>
The only changes that take place occur in the zones/areas in the sacromere (as mentioned), not in the filaments (actin and myosin) that make the up the sacromere; hence all other options are wrong.
Hope this helps!
