A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are mu_s and mu_k, respectively. n represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and Fg represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer, as shown in the drawing For all the questions, we can assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges.
Before the drawbridge starts to open, it is perfectly level with the ground. The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the x component of the friction force, Ff?
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables n, mu_s, and/or mu_k.
i thought the answer should be -mu_s X N , but that is wrong.
