Answer:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, we expect (in theory) an increase in friction when the normal force is increased.

One more thing, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force

Suppose that a worker in Freedonia can produce either 6 units of corn or 2 units of wheat per year, and a worker in Sylvania can

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a 30 units of corn and 30 units of wheat.

Explanation:

Initially freedonia has 5 workers producing 30 units of of corn (6 units per worker) and another 5 workers producing 10 units of wheat (2 units per worker)

With the trade agreed between the two countries Freedonia can have all of it's 10 workers producing corn, thereby producing 60 units of corn

30 of these are traded for 30 units of wheat therefore allowing the country to consume 30 units of each product.
