4-2.Friction
medium

A body of $10\, kg$ is acted by a force of $129.4\, N$ if $g = 9.8\,m/{\sec ^2}$. The acceleration of the block is $10\,m/{s^2}$. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction

A

$0.03$

B

$0.01$

C

$0.3$

D

$0.25$

Solution

(c) Net force on the body = Applied force -Friction 

$ma = F – {\mu _k}mg$

${\mu _k} = \frac{{F – ma}}{{mg}} = \frac{{129.4 – 10 \times 10}}{{10 \times 9.8}} = 0.3$
