How would you find the friction of a box being pushed against a wall with a force of 200N and a weight of 100N?
Friction of a box pushed against a wall using 200N
In summary, to find the friction of a box being pushed against a wall with a force of 200N and a weight of 100N, one would need to post the question in the Homework Help, Intro Physics forum and provide relevant equations and their attempt at the solution. Without this information, it is not possible to provide assistance.

What is friction?
Friction is a force that resists the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.
How is friction affected by the weight of the box?
The weight of the box does not directly affect friction, but it can influence the normal force between the box and the wall, which in turn affects the amount of friction.
What factors affect the friction between the box and the wall?
The factors that affect friction include the roughness of the surfaces, the normal force between the surfaces, and the type of material the surfaces are made of.
What happens to the friction if the force pushing the box against the wall increases?
If the force pushing the box against the wall increases, the friction force will also increase, up to a certain point. This is because the increased force increases the normal force, which in turn increases the friction force.
How can we reduce the friction between the box and the wall?
To reduce the friction, we can make the surfaces smoother, decrease the normal force by using a lighter box, or use a lubricant between the surfaces.
