1 N

(b) What horizontal pushing force is required to slide the crateacross the dock at a constant speed?
2 N

Explanation / Answer

a) fs = usmg         = 0.740 * 54kg *9.8m/s2 = 391.6N b) F = ukmg    = 0.480 * 54kg * 9.8m/s2 =254.01N c) N = mgcos         = 1750kg *9.8m/s2 * cos15 = 16565N d) fs = usmgcos =s*1750kg * 9.8m/s2 * cos15 =s * 16565N = .............N
