Homework Statement
An ice-fishing hut weighing 52N sits on dry, frozen lake.
(a). What is the magnitude of the initial horizontal force required to make the ice-fishing hut start sliding across the surface of the frozen pond?
(b). Once the ice-fishing hut has begun sliding, what force is required to maintain the hut sliding at a constant speed?
Given:
FN: 52N
Homework Equations
Us=Fs/FN
UK=FK/FN
The Attempt at a Solution
I figured out the mass is 5.3 kg by using the formula m=Fg/g and I'm not sure quite what to do next I feel as if some information is lacking? And I'm not quite sure if this question has acceleration and if it does is the acceleration for part (a) is 0?
