Question
A monkey pushes a box of mass 25 kg in a straight line across a rough floor.
The applied force F has magnitude 85 N and acts downward at an angle 0 =
10° with respect to the horizontal, as shown below.
The box is initially at rest at the position x/
a). Find the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor.
and it has speed v2 = 0.55 m/s at position x2 = 3.50 m.
0 m,
b). What is the net work done?
c). How much work (magnitude and sign) is done by the friction force?
m
Hint: this q involves constant acceleration, Newton's laws, work
