A box weighing 51.1 N is pulled horizontally until it slides uniformly over a level floor. If the applied force is 6.30 N, what is the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor?

Respuesta :

Given data

*A box weighs is N = 51.1 N

*The applied force is F = 6.30 N

The formula for the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is given as

[tex]\mu=\frac{F}{N}[/tex]

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

[tex]\begin{gathered} \mu=\frac{6.30}{51.1} \\ =0.123 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is 0.123
