Answer:
0.957
Explanation:
Assuming the surface is parallel to the floor and the block is not accelerating, the coefficient of friction will be the ratio of the horizontal force to the normal force. The normal force will be the force due to gravity:
F = Ma = (3.2 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 31.36 N
Then the ratio of the forces is ...
μ = horizontal force/vertical force = (30 N)/(31.36 N)
μ ≈ 0.956633
The coefficient of friction is about 0.957.
