Answer:
[tex]\mu=0.185[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Mass [tex]m=17kg[/tex]
Force [tex]F=33N[/tex]
Velocity [tex]v=1.6m/s[/tex]
Distance [tex]d= 9.8m[/tex]
Generally the equation for Work done is mathematically given by
[tex]W=\triangle K.E+\triangle P.E[/tex]
Where
[tex]\triangle K.E=(F-F_f)*2[/tex]
[tex]F_f=F+\frac{\triangle K.E}{d}[/tex]
[tex]F_f=33+\frac{0.5*17*1.6^2}{9.8}[/tex]
[tex]F_f=30.8N[/tex]
Since
[tex]f = \mu*m*g[/tex]
[tex]\mu= 30.8/(m*g)[/tex]
[tex]\mu= 30.8/(17*9.81)[/tex]
[tex]\mu=0.185[/tex]
