Question

What is the coefficient of static friction if it takes 44 N of force to move a box that weighs 86 N?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ff = 44N

Fn = 86N

Ff = μFn

44 = μ86

μ = 44/86

μ = 0.51

Answer 2

The coefficient of static friction is 0.51.

Given:

A 44 N of force to move a box that weighs 86 N.

To Find:

The coefficient of static friction.

Solution:

To find the coefficient of static friction, we will follow the following steps:

As we know,

Friction opposes motion. so, an object of weight 86N is opposed by a frictional force of 44N.

Now,

The relation between the coefficient of friction, the weight of the object, and frictional force is given by:

f = μmg

Weight = mg = 86N

f = frictional force = 44N

μ = coefficient of friction

$μ = \frac{f}{mg} = \frac{44}{86} = 0.51$

Henceforth, the coefficient of static friction is 0.51.
