Question

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) suggests a minimum coefficient of static friction of s = 0.50 for floors. If Ethan, who has mass of 63 kg, stands passively, how much horizontal force can be applied on him before he will slip on a floor with OSHA's minimum coefficient of static friction?

(answer in N)

(answer in N)

Explanation / Answer

here,

minimum coefficient of friction , us = 0.5

mass of Ethan , m = 63 kg

the minimum horizontal force applie , F = us*m*g

F = 0.5 * 63 * 9.8

F = 308.7 N

the minmum horizontal force applied on him before he will slip is 308.7 N
