Question

A box full of books rests on a wooden floor. The normal force the floor exerts on the box is 282 N.

a. see attached

b. If you must push horizontally on the box with a force of at least 150 N to start it sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction?

c. Once the box is sliding, you only have to push with a force of 120 N to keep it sliding at constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

 

 

 

 

You push horizontally on the box with a force of 120 N, but it refuses to budge.
What can you say about the coefficient of static friction between the box and the
floor?
