A 25 kg box is being pulled at a constant velocity with a tension force of 65 N. what is the coefficient of friction between the

box and the ground?
Physics

DiKsa [7]3 years ago

The box is in equilibrium, so Newton's second law says

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

65 N + (-<em>f</em> ) = 0

where <em>n</em> denotes the magnitude of the normal force, <em>w</em> denotes the weight of the box, and <em>f</em> denotes the magnitude of the friction force.

The box has a weight of

<em>w</em> = (25 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 245 N

so <em>n</em> = 245 N, too.

The friction force has magnitude

<em>f</em> = 65 N

and is proportional to the normal force by a factor of <em>µ</em>, the coefficient of kinetic friction. So we have

65 N = <em>µ</em> (245 N)   →  <em>µ</em> ≈ 0.26

A spinning disc rotating at 130 rev/min slows and stops 31 s later. how many revolutions did the disc make during this time?
gayaneshka [121]
F = 130 revs/min = 130/60 revs/s = 13/6 revs/s
t = 31s
wi = 2πf = 2π × 13/6 = 13π/3 rads/s
wf = 0 rads/s = wi + at
a = -wi/t = -13π/3 × 1/31 = -13π/93 rads/s²
wf² - wi² = 2a∅
-169π²/9 rads²/s² = 2 × -13π/93 rads/s² × ∅
∅ = 1209π/18 rads
n = ∅/2π = (1209π/18)/(2π) = 1209/36 ≈ 33.5833 revolutions.
