Homework Statement
F a man and a woman walk on a surface horizontally and create an 80° angle and 1000N ground reaction force on their leg. If the friction coefficient of the carpet is μ=0.55, and friction coefficient of a tiled floor, μ=0.18 will they slip? Show working to your answer. Can someone please help me with this many thanks!
Homework Equations
Will they slip? prove your answer.[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
mgsin(80)=1000N
Ff=μN
1000x0.55
Ff=550Nsecond: mgsin(80)=1000
1000x0.18
=180N
There is less friction on the tiled floor therefore the person walking on it will slip.
