A block of mass 2 kg is placed on the floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.4. A horizontal force of 2.5 N is applied on the block. Calculate the force of friction between the block and the floor.

Answers is  F=7.84 N

Friction force resists the effect of horizontal force and trying to approch to a limiting force.

we have formula for limiting friction force between block and floor

               F=Ц N

where N=mg

putting values we get answer.

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14
