Question

HELP!!

Answer 1

Answer:

22 N

Explanation:

The box is moving, so there is kinetic friction.

The speed is constant, so there is no acceleration.

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are four forces.

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weigh force mg pulling down.

Applied force F pushing right.

Friction force Fn μk pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − mg = 0

Fn = mg

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − Fn μk = 0

F = Fn μk

F = mg μk

F = (11.2 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.200)

F = 22.0 N
