[SOLVED] URGENT---Frictional force
A force of 1.6N is applied to a box of mass 1.8Kg. It accelerates 0.6m/s^2. Determine Ff and the coefficient of kientic friction.
K so I knoe how to do this. But in the textbook, it has been done in a different way.
So what I did is Found the net force using F=ma.
Then i subtract from 1.6 and get Ff.
Then use the formula mk= Ff/Fn
In the book they took Ff=ma
Which is the right solution?
