Answer:
Explanation:
Mass of block=10 kg
Applied horizontal force =F=20 N
Friction force=f=10 N
We have to find the acceleration of block.
Net force=Applied horizontal force-friction force
Where F= Horizontal force
f=Friction force
m=Mass of object
a=Acceleration of object
Hence, the acceleration of the block=
As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.
Then friction force = 80 Newtons but in the opposite direction.
Friction force = Mu * Normal force exerted by ground = Mu * weight of box
So we find Mu.
Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface
= Force of friction / weight = 80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163
When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is
= Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons
<u>Answer:</u>
Force = 20N
acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s²
Mass of object (m) = ?
<u>From Newtons II law</u>
<em> F = m. a N</em>
m = F/a
m = 20/1.5
<em> m = 13.34 Kg</em>
<em>Mass of an object is 13.34 Kg</em>
