A 75 N box of oranges is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0.90 m/s each

second. The push force has a horizontal component of 20 N and a vertical component of 25 N downward.
Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and floor?

Answer:

μk = 0.26885

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply Newton's second law:

∑Fx = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data:

a= -0.9  m/s²,  

g = 9.81 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

W= 75 N :  Block weight

W= m*g  

m =  W/g = 75/9.8= 7.65 kg :  Block mass

Friction force : Ff

Ff= μk*N

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)  

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    , ay=0

N-W-25 = 0

N = 75 +25

N= 100N

∑Fx = m*ax    

20-Ff= m*ax    

20-μk*100 = 7.65*(-0.90 )

20+7.65*(0.90) = μk*100

μk = ( 20+7.65*(0.90)) / (100)

μk = 0.26885

Westkost [7]

Answer:

They are able to balance torques due to gravity.

F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2

Explanation:

When two friends of different masses will balance themselves on see saw then at equilibrium position the see saw will remain horizontal

This condition will be torque equilibrium position where the see saw will not rotate

Here we can say

F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2

here we know that force is due to weight of two friends

and their positions are different with respect to the lever about which see saw is rotating

since both friends are of different weight so they will balance themselves are different positions as per above equation
