A 10-kg crate sits on a horizontal floor. What is the maximum static friction that could be exerted on the crate? the coefficient of static friction is 0. 60.



Answer :

The maximum static friction that could be exerted on the crate is 58.8.

Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. Friction is experienced when individuals try to move a stationary object on a surface, without actually triggering any relative motion between the body and the surface on which it is on.

Formula for static friction:

Static friction(max) = Normal force × Static friction

= mg × μ

m = mass = 10kg

g = gravity on the body = 9.8 m/s²

μ = static friction = 0.60

Now putting these values in the equation, we get:

Static friction = 10 × 9.8 × 0.60

                     = 58.8

Therefore the static friction is 58.8.
