Question

1. (1 point) A 1,300-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force vec{F} of 250 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in the figure below. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (a) 0.17 (b) 0.54 (c) 0.39 (d) 1.2 (e) 0.91
