A 200N box

on a horizontal sidewalk requires a force 1 25N

of itinto
to set motion.

9) find the coefficient

ofstatic friction between the a nd the sidewalk.
box

b) requires a force of80 N to keep the box

If the box
moving with a constant
velocity, find the coefficiento fkinetic
friction between the boxa nd sidewalk

Solution:

Step 1:We draw free-body diagram.
