A 60 kg body is pushed with just enough


Asked by admin @ in Science viewed by 260 People


A 60 kg body is pushed horizontally with just enough force to start it moving across a floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. the coefficient of static friction and sliding friction are 0.5 and 0.4 respectively. the acceleration of the body is

Thank you for asking the question
As we know that static friction =  coefficient of static friction *  normal reaction of the body
that is friction = (u)N 
also N=(m)(g) =60* 10  = 600 N ( By just taking g= 10 m/s^2
static friction = 0.5 * 600 = 300 N
when the external force will be applied on body .it will be start moving so in this case kinetic friction= 0.4 * 600 = 240 N

so the net force will be difference of both type of friction = 300- 240 = 60 N
we know that
F= ma so 
a=F/m
so by butting values 60/60 =1 m/s^2 (acceleration).
