Answer:
Option B. 28 N
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Coefficient of static friction (μ) = 0.35
Normal force (N) = 80 N
Frictional force (F) =?
The coefficient of static friction, frictional force and the normal force are related according to the following equation:
Coefficient of friction = frictional force / normal force
μ = F/N
With the above formula, we can obtain the frictional force as follow:
Coefficient of static friction (μ) = 0.35
Normal force (N) = 80 N
Frictional force (F) =?
μ = F/N
0.35 = F / 80
Cross multiply
F = 0.35 × 80
F = 28 N
Thus the frictional force is 28 N
