Discover the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction for a 325N Box on the Floor

[logglypop]

a box of books weighing 325N moves with a constant velocity across the floor when it is pushed with a force of 425N exerted downward at an angle of 35.2 degree below the horizontal . find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.

what i do :please see check it

the coefficientof kinetic friction equal to the force of kinetic divided by the normal force = 425-425xcos35.2 / 325+425xsin35.2 = 0.136

Yes. You are right.

are u sure ?

Where does the first 425 come from on the numerator? What much the frictional force be equal to?

Yes.You are right,Cristo. Only 425cos35.2. Sorry.
