The maximum applied force that can be applied to an 8.0 kg steel slider before it starts moving along a horizontal steel rail is 31 N [forward]. What is the coefficient of static friction?
Applied force = Frictional force
"F= \\mu_s mg \\\\\n\n\\mu_s = \\frac{F}{mg} \\\\\n\n= \\frac{31}{8.0 \\times 9.8} \\\\\n\n= 0.3954"
