Question

Find the force necessary to start the crate moving, given that the mass of the crate is 32 kg and the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.55.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, force necessary to start the crate moving is 172.66N

Explanation:

Given that,

mass = 32kg

coefficient of static friction μ = 0.55

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s²

F =  μmg

F = 0.55 × 32 × 9.81

= 172.66N

Therefore, force necessary to start the crate moving is 172.66N
