A 0.35 kg block is being pulled across a flat, level surface by a horizontal string. When the tension in the string is 1.8 N, the block’s acceleration is 0.75 m/s2 in the same direction as the tension. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface? For your physical representation, draw a free body diagram of the forces acting on the block

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given, 

The mass of the block (m) =0.35 kg.

The tension in the string (T) = 1.8 N.

The acceleration of the block (a) = 0.75 m/s2

The tension in the string and the acceleration are both acting in the same direction.

# The value of the co-efficient of the kinetic friction needs to be evaluated.
