Coefficient of friction for constant velocity given a constant force

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the coefficient of friction when an object moves at constant velocity under a constant force. Participants are reminded that homework questions should demonstrate some effort before seeking help. The thread emphasizes the importance of using relevant equations to calculate the coefficient of sliding friction. Additionally, it specifies that units are not required for this particular problem, and rounding should be to two decimal places. The conversation is ultimately locked, indicating no further contributions will be accepted.

Homework Statement
If a 23.2 N horizontal force must be applied to slide a 17 kg box along the floor at constant velocity what is the coefficient of sliding friction between the two surfaces?
Relevant Equations
Note 1: The units are not required in the answer in this instance. Note 2: If rounding is required, please express your answer as a number rounded to 2 decimal places.

These are not relevant equations. They are just notes that go with the problem. What equation is used in calculating the coefficient of sliding friction?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
