QUESTION:
If the 50-kg crate starts from rest and achieves a velocity of v = 4 m/s when it travels a distance of 5 m to the right, determine the magnitude of force P acting on the crate. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ground is \(\mu_{k}=0.3\).
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Given data:
The mass of the crate is \(m=50 \mathrm{~kg} .\)
The final velocity of the crate is \(v=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).
The distance travelled in the horizontal direction is \(s=5 \mathrm{~m} .\)
The coefficient of kinematic friction is \(\mu_{k}=0.3\).
