Answer:

a) μs=0.34

b) μk=0.27

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , m = 21 kg

Force required to move the block ,F= 73 N

The force required to keep the block in motion ,F ' = 58 N

Coefficient of the static friction  :

The maximum value of the static friction force

fr= μs m g

At rest position

F=  fr

73 = μs x 21 x 10   (take g= 10 m/s²)

\mu_s=\dfrac{73}{210}

μs=0.34

Therefore the Coefficient of the static friction  will be 0.34.

Coefficient of the kinetic  friction  ;

Value of the kinetic friction force   ,fr= μk m g

F' = Fr

To move the block at constant speed

58 = μs x 21 x 10                 (take g= 10 m/s²)

\mu_k=\dfrac{58}{210}

μk=0.27

Therefore the Coefficient of the static friction  will be 0.27.

A constant force of 11.8 N in the positive x direction acts on a 4.7-kg object as it moves from the origin to the point (1.6i –
zhenek [66]

Answer:

W = 18.88 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Constant force, F = 11.8 N (in +x direction)

Mass of an object, m = 4.7 kg

The object moves from the origin to the point (1.6i – 4.6j) m

We need to find the work is done by the given force during this displacement. The work done by an object is given by the formula as follows :

W=F{\cdot} d\\\\W=(11.8i){\cdot} (1.6i-4.6j)\\\\=11.8\times 1.6\\\\=18.88\ J

So, the work done by the given force is 18.88 J.
