A moving 46.6 kg sled feels a 52.9 N friction force. what is the coefficient of friction

Respuesta :

Answer:

The coefficient of friction of the sled is 0.115

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the sled, m = 46.6 kg

Frictional force acting on it, F = 52.9 N

We need to find the coefficient of friction. Frictional force is given by :

[tex]F=\mu mg[/tex]

[tex]\mu=\dfrac{F}{mg}[/tex]

[tex]\mu=\dfrac{52.9\ N}{46.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 0.115[/tex]

So, the coefficient of friction of the sled is 0.115. Hence, this is the required solution.
