Suppose you have to move a heavy crate of weight 875 n by sliding it along a horizontal concrete floor. you push the crate to the right with a horizontal force of magnitude 300 n, but friction prevents the crate from sliding. what is the magnitude fp of the minimum force you need to exert on the crate to make it start sliding along the floor? let the coefficient of static friction ? s between the crate and the floor be 0.56 and that of kinetic friction, ? k, be 0.47.

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) W = 875 N

b) Fx = 300 N (right direction = positive)

c) Fp = ?

d) μs = 0.56

e) μk = 0.47

2) Physical principles and formulae:

a) For sliding, Fp ≥ μs × N, where Fp = μs × N is the magnitud of the minimum force need to exert on the crate to make it start sliding

3) Solution:

a) Free body diagram

The balance of the vertical forces implies that the normal force (N) equals the weight (W) of the crate:

b) Fp = μs × N = 0.56 × 875 N = 490 N ← answer

Remarks:

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
