Homework Statement
[/B]
The block shown is pulled across the horizontal surface at a constant speed by the force shown. If M = 5.0 kg, F = 14 N and Theta= 35°, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface?
Homework Equations
Fx = Fcos(theta)
Ff = Fn * Uk (Friction equation)
F=ma
Fn = mg
The Attempt at a Solution
I did it by myself and got 0.234, but the answer says it's 0.28. Can you explain this to me?
My work:
a = F / m
a =( Fcos(35) - Fn * Uk ) / m= 0
Fcos(35) / Fn = Uk
14*cos(35) / (5 * 9.8) = 0.234 = Uk
I don't know where I did wrong
