Both forces are horizontal, and the crate sides with a constant speed What is the crate's ooefficient of kinetic friction on the floor? Express your answer using two significant figures Submit My Answers Glive Up

Explanation / Answer

here,

mass , m = 500 kg

let the coefficient of kinetic friction be uk

as the crate is moving at constant speed

the net force on it is zero

410 + 200 = uk * m * g

610 = uk * 500 * 9.81

solving for uk

uk = 0.12

the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.12
