A block of mass m=5.2kg is acted on by a force of magnitude F, as shown in the figure. The force makes an angle θ=230 with the horizontal. The coefficients of kinetic and static frictions between the surface and the block are µk=0.23 and µs=0.18, respectively. What is F is the block moves with constant speed?
Solution-
Use the figure and find the FBD,
To move it with constant speed the horizontal force should be greater and equal to the kinetic friction force,
substitute uk=0.23 m=5.2
Therefore, force should be greater than 109 N.
