A force of 29.4 N is required to pull a 100 kg ice block at constant speed along an ice surface. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction for ice on ice.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value is  [tex]\mu_k = 0.03[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The force applied on the ice is [tex]F = 29.4 N[/tex]

   The mass of the ice block is  [tex]m = 100 \ kg[/tex]

Generally for the ice block to move at constant speed , the force applied on it must be equal to the kinetic frictional force which is mathematically represented as

         [tex]F_F = m* g * \mu_k[/tex]

=>      [tex]F = F_F = m* g * \mu_k[/tex]

=>      [tex]29.4 = 100 * 9.8 * \mu_k[/tex]

=>       [tex]\mu_k = 0.03[/tex]
