It鈥檚 a snowy day and you鈥檙e pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You鈥檝e both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You鈥檝e been walking at a steady m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is kg and that you鈥檙e pulling with a force of N. What answer will you give?
Bonnie and Clyde are sliding a kg bank safe across the floor to their getaway car. The safe slides with a constant speed if Clyde pushes from behind with N of force while Bonnie pulls forward on a rope with N of force. What is the safe鈥檚 coefficient of kinetic friction on the bank floor?
