Answer:
a = 0.1 m/s²
Explanation:
- If the maximum static frictional force is 90 N, this means that any applied force that will overcome this force, will cause the piano to slide, so kinetic frictional force applies.
- Under these conditions, the net force in the horizontal direction is just the difference between the applied force (which is larger that the static friction force) and the kinetic frictional force, as follows:
- By the same token, according Newton's 2nd Law, this force is just equal to the product of the mass of the piano, times the acceleration, as follows:
- Solving for a:
