A box with a mass of 2,ookg rests on a horizontal surface.Calculate the maximum static friction if ms=0,4oo
F(fr) = μmg
To calculate the maximum static friction, we can use the equation:
Maximum Static Friction (Fs) = coefficient of static friction (μs) x Normal force (N)
In this case, we are given:
Mass of the box (m) = 2000 kg
Coefficient of static friction (μs) = 0.400
To find the normal force, we can use the equation:
Normal force (N) = Mass (m) x acceleration due to gravity (g)
The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s². Therefore:
Normal force (N) = 2000 kg x 9.8 m/s² = 19600 N
Now we can substitute the values into the equation to find the maximum static friction:
Fs = μs x N
Fs = 0.400 x 19600 N
Fs = 7840 N
Therefore, the maximum static friction for a box with a mass of 2000 kg and a coefficient of static friction of 0.400 is 7840 N.
