Homework Statement
A 1000N crate is being pushes across a level floor at a constant speed by a force (F) of 300N at an angle of 20 degrees below the horizontal, what is the coefficient of kinetic force?
Homework Equations
Fk= uk*N
uk= Fk/N[/B]
Fk=F2
The Attempt at a Solution
in the back of the textbook it comes up as 0.256, but when I try I do:
Fk = F2
F2 = 300cos20 = 281.9
uk= F2/n
uk= 281.9/1000
uk= 0.281
Can someone tell me where I've gone wrong? It seemed like it should be a simple question
