To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 3STP
Option B: 0.57
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The minimum force required to move a
Formula used:
The maximum static friction force is given by,
Where,
Calculation:
Since there is no motion of crate in the perpendicular direction of the surface, the normal force between crate and the surface will be balanced by the weight of the carte, that is
Now, maximum static friction force acting on an object will be equal to the minimum force required to move that object.
Thus, it can be written as:
Where
Thus, using given values in above equation:
Conclusion:
Thus, the maximum static friction coefficient is 0.57.
