a mass of 10kg is placed on a horizontal table with coefficient of friction is 0.5. if the mass is static, determine weight of the object against the horizontal table and the limiting frictional force.​

Respuesta :

The limiting frictional force is 50 N.

Frictional force

Frictional force is the force that opposes motion. The frictional force acts in a direction that is opposite to the force moving the body forward.

The weight of the object is given by;

W = mg

W = 10 Kg × 10 ms-2 = 100 N

Now;

Recall that;

μ = F/R

μ = coefficient of friction

F = limiting frictional force

R = reaction force

Reaction = weight = 100 N

0.5 = F/100 N

F = 0.5 × 100 N

F= 50 N
