Answer: 0.62
Explanation:
Coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the moving force (Fm) acting on a body to the normal reaction (R).
Note that the normal reaction acts vertically on the object and is equal to the objects weight (W) i.e W=R
Since W = mg, W = 38.4 ×10
W= 384N =R
Normal reaction = 384N
The horizontal force acting on the body will be the moving force which is 238N
Coefficient of friction = Fm/R
Coefficient of friction = 238/384
Coefficient of friction = 0.62
Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.62
