Estimate the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction ?k for a medium‑sized cardboard box full of books on typical office carpet.

Solutions

Expert Solution

The more the weight the more will be kinetic friction. We can approximately say using the properties of carpet that the coeficient of kinetic friction is approximatel from 0.5 to 0.98

The coefficient of friction (static and kinetic) between an object and a surface can be measured by putting the object on an adjustable inclined plane. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the object, assuming static friction holds it in place on the incline. (b) Find an equation that can be used to solve for µs, in terms of the angle θmax which is the largest angle that the object can sit without sliding. (Hint: You can reduce the problem to...
