A 10kg box is pulled a distance of 100m along a level floor at constant velocity using a force of 40 N at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal. If the box is pulled at constant velocity, what is the coefficient of friction between the bottom of the box and the floor?

1 answer

Force horizontal=40cos35
That will equal friction

Force normal=mg-40cos35

friction=forcehorizontal
mu(mg-40sin35)=40Cos35
solvefor mu
