Answer to Problem 101A
The force needed to push horizontally the can is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the can is
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the can and the muddy grass is
The coefficient of static friction is
Formula used:
The expression for the friction force is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the acceleration due to gravity as
The normal force on the crate is,
The force needed to push horizontally to get the can to just start moving is
Conclusion:
Thus, the force needed to push horizontally the can is
