boy pulls a 5.0-kg sled with a rope that makes a 60.0° angle with respect to the horizontal surface of a frozen pond. The boy pulls on the rope with a force of 10.0 N; and the sled moves with constant velocity. What is the coefficient of friction between the and the ice?

(a) 0.09
(b) 0.12
(c) 0.18
(d) 0.06
(e) 0.24

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

mass, m = 5 kg

θ = 60°

Force, F = 10 N

velocity is constant , it means the net force is zero.

So, the component of force along the surface is equal to the friction force

FCosθ = friction force

10 x cos 60 = μ x m x g

where, μ is the coefficient of friction

5 = μ x 5 x 9.8

μ = 0.1

Thus, the coefficient of friction is 0.1
