Question

A 2.03 kg book is placed on a flat desk. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the desk is 0.602 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.327 . How much force is needed to begin moving the book

Answer 1

11.98 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal force = mg = 2.03 * 9.81

coeff of static friction must be overcome for the book to begin moving

.602 = F / (2.03 * 9.81) = 11.98 N
