Question

A horizontal force of 400.0 N is required to pull a 1760 N truck across the floor at a constant speed. Find the coefficient of sliding friction.

Answer 1

Data given:

Fh=400N

Ftruck=1760N

Data needed:

u=?

Formula needed:

Fh=Ftruck×u

Solution:

u=Fh/Ftruck

u=400N/1760N

u=0,227272727
