Emma is working in a shoe test lab measuring the coefficient of friction for tennis shoes on a variety of surfaces. The shoes are pushed against the surface with a force of 400 N, and a sample of the surface material is then pulled out from under the shoe by a machine. The machine pulls with a force of 300 N before the material begins to slide. When the material is sliding, the machine has to pull with a force of only 200 N to keep the material moving.
a. What is the coefficient of static friction between the shoe and the material?
b. What is the coefficient of dynamic friction between the shoe and the material?
c. Draw a Free Body Diagram for the above.

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of friction = μ N , where μ is coefficient of friction , N is normal force on the body .

a )

Given,

Normal force N = 400 N

Force of friction = 300 N

μ = coefficient of static friction = ?

Putting the values ,

300 = 400 μ

μ = .75

b )

Normal force N = 400 N

Force of friction = 200 N

μ = coefficient of kinetic  friction = ?

Putting the values ,

200 = 400 μ

μ = .50

c ) see attached file .
