Your refrigerator has a mass of 104.5 kg, including the food in it. It is standing in the middle of your kitchen, and you need to move it. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the fridge and the tile floor are 0.44 and 0.35, respectively. What is the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the fridge, if you push against it horizontally with a force of each magnitude? ( in number format with 4 decimal places)
(a) 300 N
(b) 500 N
(c) 700 N
here,
coefficient of staticc friction , us = 0.44
coefficient of kinetic friction , uk = 0.35
mass of the refridgerator , m = 104.5 kg
the magnitude of static frictional force , F = us * m * g
F = 0.44 * 104.5 * 9.8
F = 450.604 N
(a)
as the force applied , f = 300 N
therefore the friction force is 300 N
(b)
the magnitude of kinetic frictional force , F = uk * m * g
F = 0.35 * 104.5 * 9.8
F = 358.435 N
the magnitude of kinetic frictional force is 358.435 N
(c)
the magnitude of kinetic frictional force , F = uk * m * g
F = 0.35 * 104.5 * 9.8
F = 358.435 N
the magnitude of kinetic frictional force is 358.435 N

A large refrigerator (mass 95kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so she begins to push it. The coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.6, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5. The homeowner applies a horizontal force of 400N on the refrigerator. What is the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the refrigerator as she applies that force?
A large refrigerator (mass 95kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so she begins to push it.
