Question

A 2.0kg siverware drawer become stuck, so the owner graually pulls with more and more force. When the applied force reaches 8.0N the drawer suddenly opens, throwing the utensils to the floor. Find the Coefficient fo static friction between the drawer and the cabinet?

Answer 1

Static friction force = 8.0 N =
(static friction coefficient) x M g

M = 2.0 kg; g = 9.8 m/s^2

Solve for the static friction coefficient

Answer 2

What is the equation with out the Numbers

Answer 3

is it Sum of the Forces=mg
