Question

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel frying pan is only 0.100 N. Knowing the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials (0.03), he quickly calculates the normal force. What is it

Answer 1

Answer:Fk = μk η

0.100=0.03η

η= 0.100/0.03

η= 3.333N

Step-by-step explanation:

Fk = μk η

Fk = force of kinetic friction

μk = coefficient of kinetic friction

η = normal force (Greek letter "eta")
