I did attempt the problem, but I' now more confused than ever. Please help me.
Joe is moving his refrigerator to take to college and he begins by pushing it across
the wooden kitchen floor.
On a flat surface like the floor, how do you calculate how hard he needs to push?
Draw a free body diagram to help explain your answer and use the simulation Ramp:
Force and Motion to check your ideas.
1.Record the minimum force Joe would have
to use to move the refrigerator on the kitchen floor.
2. Later, Joe is ready to load his refrigerator onto the moving truck.
a. Explain how he would calculate how much force to use to lift the refrigerator straight
up into a truck.b. Joe starts thinking about easier ways to get it in the truck and remembers he has
some wood that he could use to make a ramp. How could he calculate the minimum
force needed to push it up the ramp?
-------------
Sorry I've been stuck on this for an hour :(
By using these...:
(kinetic/ sliding) mu=0.2
mass= 200kg
Normal Force= 2000N
