Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 89_SSM
A filing cabinet weighing 556 N rests on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between it and the floor is 0.68, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.56. In four different attempts to move it, it is pushed with horizontal forces of magnitudes (a) 222 N, (b) 334 N, (c) 445 N, and (d) 556 N. For each attempt, calculate the magnitude of the frictional force on it from the floor. (The cabinet is initially at rest.) (e) In which of the attempts does the cabinet move?
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 556 N, 0.56. In, 222 N, 334 N, 445 N
Find: (a) 222 N; (b) 334 N; (c) 445 N
