1. What is the actual static frictional force that acts on the block if an external force of 25.0 N acts horizontally on the block? ________N The mass of the block is 25.0kg. Assume g=9.80m/s^2
I am using: static frictional force=(coefficient of static friction)(mass)(gravity)
25N=us(25.0kg)(9.80m/s^2)
us=0.102
Of course this is obviously wrong because I am not searching for the coefficient of static friction. Would you be able to guide me to the correct equation for this type of problem?
4. Other equations I am given
T=fs, T=Mg, N=Mg
Thanks,
