Bonnie and Clyde are sliding a 289 kg bank safe across the floor to their getaway car. The safe slides with a constant speed if Clyde pushes from behind with 387 N of force while Bonnie pulls forward on a rope with 341 N of force.

Required:
What is the safe's coefficient of kinetic friction on the bank floor?

Answer:

= 0.257

Explanation:

Applied force on the safe by Bonnie and Clyde is F= 387 N + 341 N

= 728 N

Given safe slides with constant speed .So, force of friction =applied force

= 728 N

μ*normal force = 728 N

from this the safes coefficient of kinetic friction on the bank floor is

μ = 728 N / normal force

= 728 N / Mg

= 728 N / ( 289 * 9.8 )

= 0.257
