A 34 N horizontal force is needed to keep an object that weighs 232 N moving at a constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface?

Answer 1

This not answer it is note.The mass measured in kg

The normal force is ready to plug in the equation . You don't have to multiply by g.

Answer 2

First, we want to start by identifying our given variables.

1. F (horizontal)= 34N
2. mass = 232 kg
3. coefficient of kinetic friction (usually the greek mew) = ?

Next we want to find the equation that fits the needs of the problem:

1. F = mew * normal force

Finally we plug in and solve:

34 = mew * (232)

0.146 = mew

I hope this helped, let me know if I can be of further assistance on this problem.
