In my view it made sense because static friction goes against the motion which is force applied the attempted motion, and I don't understand how Fs could be upwards because it is a horizontal motion so help me how i should come up with the equation to calculate the coefficient of static...

Thank you :)

so u=f/N is the answer you are indicating to me? where f is static friction and n is the normal force. But the thing is i am only given force applied in the question not force of satic friction. But still this is something I tried again and got right answer but not sure if why the net force...

This is what I did. Fnet=0 Fnet=ma Fnet=Fa-Fs so ma=Fa-u*m*9.8 both masses cancel out 0=350-u9.8 -350/9.8=-u 35.7=u

Homework Statement You are trying to slide a sofa across a horizontal floor. The mass of the sofa is 200 kg, and you need to exert a force of 350 N to make it begin to move. a) Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the floor and sofa b) after it starts moving, the sofa reaches a...

Hello everyone I am new here. I joined this forum to improve my physics skills. I'd like to improve my thinking so a few tips will be really helpful. I'd love to be in your company as the people one choose to be with, becomes the one, one hangs out with. :)
