Question

Paul is pushing the couch up the ramp into the moving truck at a CONSTANT VELOCITY. If he pushes with a force of 241 N directly to the right (NOT AT ANY ANGLE), what is the coefficient of kinetic friction? The mass of the couch is 36.3 kg.

Step 1

Since Paul is pushing the couch at a constant velocity, the net force acting on the couch is zero. The forces acting on the couch are: - The gravitational force (weight) acting downward, \( F_g = mg \) - The normal force acting perpendicular to the ramp - The Show more…
