physics: is n=mg??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@joshua.alayon are you solving for G?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solving for the coefficient of static friction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what we have is a mass of 50kg with a 53n force acting on it, it is moving at constant velocity so 0 acceleration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i got fk=53N, coefficient of fk=fk/n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would the coefficient of static friction be 53N/(50*9.8)?

geerky42 (geerky42):

I believe so.

geerky42 (geerky42):

|dw:1413050209718:dw| Because mass doesn't move vertically, \(F_n = W = mg\), so yes. You are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sweet thank you
