How do I solve this physics problem on force?

Question

A wooden block weighs 2.00×10^3N. If a horizontal force of 1.00×10^2N is required to keep it in motion with a uniform speed on a horizontal surface, what is the coefficient of sliding friction?

Answer 1

Set the magnitude of the applied force equal to the magnitude of the opposing friction force and solve for the coefficient of sliding friction.

F = (mu) x weight

mu = F / weight

You have both F and the weight. Plug in the numbers and get mu.
