Concept explainers
(a) A 50 kg crate is at rest on a horizontal surface. Draw free-body diagram. What is the force of friction on the crate?
(b) Now a 40 N force is applied (in horizontal direction) on the crate and it still does not move. What is the force of friction on the crate?
Now the force is increased to 98 N and the block just starts to move. What is the coefficient of static friction between crate and surface?
Definition Definition Force that opposes motion when the surface of one item rubs against the surface of another. The unit of force of friction is same as the unit of force.
