Answer to Question #295155 in Physics for joejoe

Question

A block of ice weighs 950 N and was placed on a metal surface that has a coefficient of friction of μ = 0.12. How much friction is present? *

Answer 1

Given:

$W=950\:\rm N$

$\mu=0.12$

The friction force

$$F_f=\mu N=\mu W=0.12*950\:\rm N=114\: N$$
