The coefficient of static friction is 0.234.
Answer:
Explanation:
Frictional force is equal to the product of coefficient of friction and normal force acting on any object.
So here the mass of the object is given as 2 kg, so the normal force will be acting under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.
Normal force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Normal force = 2 * 9.8 = 19.6 N.
And the frictional force is given as 4.6 N, then
Coefficient of static friction = 4.6 N / 19.6 N = 0.234
So the coefficient of static friction is 0.234.
