Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.
x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
in the positive direction.
y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
in the positive direction.
Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
from which we find

Answer:
The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.
Explanation:
As a first step, we need to construct a free body diagram for the crate, which is included below as attachment. Let supposed that forces exerted on the crate by both workers are in the positive direction. According to the Newton's First Law, a body is unable to change its state of motion when it is at rest or moves uniformly (at constant velocity). In consequence, magnitud of friction force must be equal to the sum of the two external forces. The equations of equilibrium of the crate are:
(Ec. 1)
(Ec. 2)
Where:
- Pushing force, measured in newtons.
- Tension, measured in newtons.
- Coefficient of kinetic friction, dimensionless.
- Normal force, measured in newtons.
- Weight of the crate, measured in newtons.
The system of equations is now reduced by algebraic means:
And we finally clear the coefficient of kinetic friction and apply the definition of weight:
If we know that ,
,
and
, then:
The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.
