Two workers are sliding 490 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 410 N while the ot

her pulls in the same direction with a force of 260 N using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?

Answer:

μ=0.16

Explanation:

Mass of crate = 490 kg

Pushing force = 410 N

Pulling force = 260 N

Lets coefficient of friction =μ

The normal force,N= mg

N= 490 x 9.81 =4806.9 N

We know that friction force(fr)

fr= μ m g

fr =4806.9 μ

The total horizontal force F

F= 410 + 260

F=670 N

For sliding condition the maximum friction force will be equal to total horizontal force

F=fr

670 = 4806.9 μ

μ=0.16

So the coefficient of friction is 0.16.

Answer:

\mu = 0.14

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the box to slide it over the horizontal surface

1) F_1 = 410 N in forward direction

2) F_2 = 260 N in forward direction

now it is given that box is moving with constant speed so net force on the box must be zero

F_1 + F_2 - f = 0

so we will have

410 + 260 - f = 0

f = 670 N

now by the formula of friction force we know that

f = \mu mg

670 = \mu (490 \times 9.81)

\mu = 0.14

A student fills a tank of radius r with water to a height of h1 and pokes a small, 1.0 cm diameter hole at a distance h2 from th
Alik [6]

when a hole is made at the bottom of the container then water will flow out of it

The speed of ejected water can be calculated by help of Bernuolli's equation and Equation of continuity.

By Bernoulli's equation we can write

Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h = Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g *0

Now by equation of continuity

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

\pi (0.2)^2 v_1 = \pi (0.01)^2 v_2

from above equation we can say that speed at the top layer is almost negligible.

v_1 = 0

now again by equation of continuity

\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2

v = \sqrt{2 g h}

here we have

h = h_1 - h_2

h = 0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47m

now speed is given by

v = \sqrt{2* 9.8 * 0.47}

v = 3.03 m/s
