Suppose you are performing an experiment on a crate of 45-kg tools resting on a horizontal floor. You exert a gradually increasing horizontal push on it and observe that the crate just begins to move when your force exceeds 313 N. After that you must reduce your push to 208 N to keep it moving at a steady 25 cm/s. a. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? b. Suppose you were performing the same experiment on this crate but were doing it on the moon instead, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/s?, what magnitude push would cause it to move?

provide the following:

1. given

2. unknown

3. equation

4. solution

5. answer 

*add diagram if applicable

Suppose you are performing an
experiment on a crate of 45-kg tools resting on a
horizontal floor. You exert a gradually increasing
horizontal push on it and observe that the crate
just begins to move when your force exceeds
313 N. After that you must reduce your push to
208 N to keep it moving at a steady 25 cm/s.
a. What are the coefficients of static and
kinetic friction between the crate and
the floor?
b. Suppose you were performing the same
experiment on this crate but were doing
it on the moon instead, where the
acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/s2,
what magnitude push would cause it to
move?
