If a 3 kg block rests on a rough horizontal table and
experiences a 2 N force of static friction, then what is the
coefficient of static friction between the block and the table?

Respuesta :

The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.07.

Coefficient of statistic friction

The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is determined by Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

Fs = μFₙ

where;

  • μ is coefficient of static friction
  • Fₙ is normal force
  • Fs is static force

μ = Fs/Fₙ

μ = Fs/mg

μ = 2/(3 x 9.8)

μ = 0.07

Thus, the coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.07.
