A body of weight $$64$$ N is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a horizontal floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction are $$0.6$$ and $$0.4$$ respectively, the acceleration of the body will be (Acceleration$$ due to gravity $$=$$ $$g)

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Weight of the body $$=$$ $$64$$ N so mass of the body $$m=6.4kg$$,μ$$s=0.6$$,μ$$k=0.4$$ Net acceleration $$=$$ Applied force − Kinetic friction  Mass of the body $$=$$μsmg−μ$$kmgm=$$μs−μ$$kg=(0.6$$−$$0.4)g=0.2g$$

A body of weight 64 N is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a horizontal floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively, the acceleration of the body will be (Acceleration due to gravity = g)
