Two workers are sliding 330 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 430 N while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 330 N using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?

Answer :

Answer:

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.235

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of crate = 330 kg

1st force = 430 N

2nd force = 330 N

Find:

Coefficient of kinetic friction.

Computation:

We know that, velocity is constant.

So, acceleration (a) = 0

So, net force (f) = 430 N + 330 N

Net force (f) = 760 N

F = μmg

μ = f / mg                                   [∵ g = 9.8]

μ = 760 / [330 × 9.8]

μ = 760 / [3,234]

μ = 0.235

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.235
