A horizontal force of 20 N is required to keep a 6.0 kg body in uniform motion along a horizontal surface. Find the coefficient of friction.
A block of mass m= 18.0 kg is held in place by a string on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle 270 . Find the tension in the string and the normal force exerted on the block by the plane. If friction is present, what is now the tension in the string if coefficient of static friction is equal to 0.3 and the block starts to slide down the plane?
A block of mass 54.1 kg rests on a slope having an angle of elevation of 20.3°. If pushing downhill on the block with a force just exceeding 192 N and parallel to the slope is sufficient to cause the block to start moving, find the coefficient of static friction.
