yes I did assume the box was sliding as there was force being emitted on it

they both push on the stack of doughnuts, so I believe it is sliding. Really though you are just trying to find the force that was needed to break the static force, or when it wasn't in motion. Then the second part of the question just wanted the acceleration of their push

So after trying this is how I attempt it (I assume gravity as 10m/s/s) I know normal force = mg so fn = (18)(10) fn = 180N then f = (.28)x(180) f = 50.4N then I assume you divide the answer in two as it asks for the individual force, so f = 25.2N to find the acceleration you just use f...

I was never taught the formulas for each type of friction no

Homework Statement Samantha and Rebekah each push on a stack of doughnuts equally. If the coefficient of static friction is .28 and the box has a mass of 18kg, what force does each push individually to break static friction? Once it's moving, the coefficient of kinetic friction is .17, how much...
