Question
A 40 -kg crate is at rest on a level surface. If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the surface is 0.69 , what horizontal force is required to get the crate moving?
Step 1
The formula for static friction is given by: \[f_{static} = \mu_{static} \times N\] where \(f_{static}\) is the force of static friction, \(\mu_{static}\) is the coefficient of static friction, and \(N\) is the normal force. Show more…

a 2.10 kg crate is at rest on a horizontal surface. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the surface is 0.40 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. what is the magnitude of the friction force on the crate if you apply a horizontal force of 2.06 N on the crate initially at rest?
(I) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22-kg crate and the floor is 0.30, what horizontal force is required to move the crate at a steady speed across the floor? What horizontal force is required if $\mu_k$ is zero?
