I was given this problem, and I don't really know what to do about the fact that the normal force doesn't equal the weight for this problem. How am I supposed to find the kinetic friction coefficient now? A box of mass 2,463g is on level ground being pulled by a force of 6.41N at angle 47.2 above horizontal. If the block is moving with a constant velocity, what is the kinetic friction coefficient? (Hint: the normal force does not always equal the weight; it does not in this case.)
a body having a mass of 40kg rests on a horizontal table and it is found that the least horizontal force required to move the body is 90 N. what is the coefficient of friction? how much word is done in moving the body along the surface of the table through a distance of 3m?
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal as shown in (Figure 1). At the very top of his arc, a 70 kg vaulter is moving at 2.9 m/s and is 5.5 m from the bottom end of the pole. What is the magnitude of the vertical force that the pole exerts on the vaulter? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A 1,380-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F of 320 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in the figure a below. a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.)(b) If the 320-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in the figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).m/s2
