Question

Adjust the friction bar to the middle of the slider apply a force of 100n. What happens to the crate? How do you think the magnitudes and directions of the forces in the free body diagram relate to the motion of the crate

Answer 1

The free body diagram shows that two forces act on the crate, the applied force of 100 N and the frictional force that acts in the opposite direction. The lengths of the arrows of both forces indicate that they are equal in magnitude. This means that the applied force of 100 N or less is not enough to overcome the frictional force exerted by the floor. So, the crate doesn’t move.
