Question

You are helping your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. You apply a horizontal force of 254 N in the negative x direction to try and move the 57 kg refrigerator. The coefficient of static friction is 0.73. (a)How much static frictional force does the floor exert on the refrigerator? Give both magnitude (in N) and direction. (b)What maximum force (in N) do you need to apply before the refrigerator starts to move?

          You are helping your friend move a new refrigerator into his
kitchen. You apply a horizontal force of 254 N in
the negative x direction to try and move
the 57 kg refrigerator. The coefficient of static
friction is 0.73.
(a)How much static frictional force does the floor exert on the
refrigerator? Give both magnitude (in N) and direction.
(b)What maximum force (in N) do you need to apply before the
refrigerator starts to move?

Step 1

Given: Mass of the refrigerator, m = 57 kg Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2 Coefficient of static friction, μ = 0.73 The normal force acting on the refrigerator, N = m * g = 57 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 558.6 N The static frictional force, F_s = μ * N F_s = Show more…
