PLEASE HELP! I AM DESPERATE!

A 53kg sled is on the snow with us=0.0888 what is the maximum static friction force on the sled

Answer 1

46.122 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The maximum static friction force on the sled is 46.122 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data

Mass of the Sled = 53 kg

Coefficient static friction force (
`\mu_(s)`) = 0.0888 (No unit)

To find - the Maximum static friction force

The formula to find the Maximum static friction force is

Maximum static friction force = Product of coefficient of static friction force (
`\mu_(s)`) and normal force (η)

`F_(S)^(max)` =
`\mu_(s)` η (Newton)

Formula to calculate the normal force (η) is

Normal force (η) = mass × acceleration due to gravity (Newton)

(where acceleration due to gravity has the constant value of 9.8 m/s²)

Normal force (η) = 53 × 9.8 (Newton)

Normal force (η) = 519.4 (Newton)

Maximum static friction force (
`F_(S)^(max)` ) =0.0888 × 519.4 (Newton)

Maximum static friction force (
`F_(S)^(max)` ) = 46.122 Newton

The maximum static friction force (
`F_(S)^(max)` ) is 46.122 Newton for the sled with mass 53 kg and coefficient of static friction force (η) 0.0888 (no unit).
