To find the coefficient of static friction, you can use the formula:
Coefficient of static friction = Force of static friction / Normal force
Given:
Force of static friction = 1.96 N
Normal force = mass * gravity = 0.50 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N
Coefficient of static friction = 1.96 N / 4.9 N
Coefficient of static friction = 0.40
Therefore, the coefficient of static friction is 0.40.
mass=0.50
static friction=1.96
kinetic friction=1.47
what is the coefficient static friction?
