A horizontal force of 40N is needed to pull a 60kg box across the horizontal floor at which coefficient of friction between floo

r and box? Determine it to three significant figures even through that's quite unrealistic. How much work is done in overcoming friction between the object and floor if the box slides 8m along horizontally on the floor?

Answer:

Coefficient of friction is 0.068.

Work done is 320~J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box (m): 60 kg

Force needed (F): 40 N

The formula to calculate the coefficient of friction between the floor and the box is given by

F=\mu mg...................(1)

Here, \mu is the coefficient of friction and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute 40 N for F, 60 kg for m and 9.80 m/s² for g into equation (1) and solve to calculate the value of the coefficient of friction.

40 N=\mu\times60 kg\times9.80 m/s^{2} \\~~~~~\mu=\frac{40 N}{60 kg\times9.80 m/s^{2}}\\~~~~~~~=0.068

The formula to calculate the work done in overcoming the friction is given by

W=Fd..........................(2)

Here, W is the work done and d is the distance travelled.

Substitute  40 N for F and 8 m for d into equation (2) to calculate the work done.

W=40~N\times8~m\\~~~~= 320~J

Estimate the radiation pressure due to a bulb that emits 25 W of EM radiation at a distance of 9.5 cm from the center of the bul
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Given Information:  

Power of bulb = w = 25 W atts

distance = d = 9.5 cm = 0.095 m

Required Information:  

Radiation Pressure = ?

Answer:

Radiation Pressure =7.34x10⁻⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

We know that radiation pressure is given by

P = I/c

Where I is the intensity of radiation and is given by

I = w/4πd²

Where w is the power of the bulb in watts and d is the distance from the center of the bulb.

So the radiation pressure becomes

P = w/c4πd²

Where c = 3x10⁸ m/s is the speed of light

P = 25/(3x10⁸*4*π*0.095²)

P = 7.34x10⁻⁷ N/m²

Therefore, the radiation pressure due to a 25 W bulb at a distance of 9.5 cm from the center of the bulb is 7.34x10⁻⁷ N/m²
