Answer:

C - 11.76 N (Newtons)

Explanation:

2 steps are needed,

First find the Force being applied by the box on the surface.

F = M(a) [Force equals: mass X Acceleration (of gravity)]

You get 39.2 N of Force.

Plug in the remaining values into the equation for Frictional Force

F(f) = μ(F) [Coefficient of Friction X Force applied by the Box]

F(f) = 0.3(39.2) = 11.76 N (of Frictional Force)

First, you need to calculate the resultant force:
R = m · a
   = (12.3 + 5.1) · 1.5
   = 26.1 N

Then, you can calculate the force of friction:
R = F - Fₐ
Fₐ = F - R
= 33 - 26.1
= 6.9 N

Now, we know that:
Fₐ = μ·m·g
Therefore we can solve for μ:

μ = <span>Fₐ/mg
   = 6.9 / (17.4 · 9.8)
   = 0.40

The coefficient of dynamic friction is </span>μ = <span>0.40
