Module 2. Physics

A force of 15N is needed to move a body of mass 30kg along a footpath with uniform velocity. Find the coefficient of dynamic friction.(take g as 10m/s/s).

  • 1/20.
  • 1/10.
  • 1/40.

rizkaramat asking:

please somebody explain

15N force. mass of 30kg = 300N
15/300 = 1/20

coefficient of dynamic friction = FORCE / WEIGHT.
THEREFORE FORCE = 15N AND WEIGHT IS 300N AS IT HAVE TO BE CONVERTED FROM MASS 30KG TO WIEGHT BY USING THIS SIMPLE EQUATION WEIGHT=MASS*GRAVITY.

I've been taught to always convert grams into Kilograms and leave kg as they are, why is it different here.
