Answer:
F = 39.2 N
Explanation:
Since, the object is in uniform motion. Therefore, the frictional force on object will be:
Frictional Force = μk N = μk mg
where,
μk = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.2
m = mass of crate = 10 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
Frictional Force = (0.2)(10 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
Frictional Force = 19.6 N
The horizontal component of force must be equal to this frictional force to continue the uniform motion:
F Sin 30° = 19.6 N
F = 19.6 N/Sin 30°
<u>F = 39.2 N</u>
1.0 joule= 1.0 newtons × 1.0 meter = 1.0 newton × meter
Work = 10 newtons × 5 meters = 50 newton × meter
