1. A 15 kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 125 N to set it in motion, Ong the chair is in motion, a 95 kg force keeps it moving at constant veloclty,
a Find the coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor,

μ = 0.849

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must remember that the friction force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. And normal force is defined as the component of force in the opposite direction to the weight of the body (chair).

As in the y axis there is no movement we can say that the sum of the forces on the chair is equal to zero.

∑Fy = 0

where:

N = normal force [N] (units of Newtons)

W = weight of the chair = m*g [N]

m = mass = 15 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now the key to solving this problem is to understand that we start applying force on the horizontal component until the chair starts to move at this moment the friction component is calculated with the static friction coefficient. As the chair doesn't move we can say that the sum of force in the horizontal direction is equal to zero.

∑Fx = 0

F = force applied = 125 [N]

fforce = friction force = μ*N

μ = friction coefficient (static)

N = normal force = 147.15 [N]

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
