- You are pushing a wooden crate against a rubber floor. The two surfaces have a static coefficient of friction of 0.45 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.38. The floor is horizontal, and the crate has a mass of 25.0 kg, and is initially at rest. You are pushing with a horizontal force of 155 N. What is the magnitude of the force of friction in this case? Give your answer in units of N, to three significant figures.arrow_forwardA football coach sits on a sled while two of his players build their strength by dragging the sled across the field with ropes. The friction force on the sled is 1400 N and the angle between the two ropes is 50 ●. Assume both players pull with the same force. How hard must each player pull to drag the coach at a steady 2.0 m/s?arrow_forwardYou managed to pull a heavy crate up a ramp on a truck. The crate has mass 45 kg.

The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground is µs = 0.603, and the kinetic friction coefficient is = 0.403. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 336 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle o = 25.0°, and they make an angle 0 = 31.1° with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled moving? minimum rope tension: N If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled's acceleration? acceleration: m/s2arrow_forward
