How much force would be needed to push a 22 kg box across the floor with
an acceleration of 1.9 m/s^2? Assume
that there is a coefficient of friction of.
17 between the box and the floor.

There would be two forces acting on the box parallel to the floor, with a net force of

∑ F = p - f = m a

where p = magnitude of the push, f = mag. of friction, m = mass of the box, and a = acceleration. To find p, we first need f .

There are also only two forces acting on the box perpendicular to the floor, with net force

∑ F = n - w = 0

where n = mag. of normal force of the floor on the box and w = weight of the box. The net force is 0 because the box is only accelerating parallel to the floor.

w = m g, where g = 9.8 m/s² is the mag. of the acceleration due to gravity, so we can solve for n :

n = w = m g

n = (22 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

n = 215.6 N

The kinetic friction is proportional to the normal force by a factor of the given coefficient of friction, µ = 0.17, such that

f = µ n

f = 0.17 (215.6 N)

f = 36.652 N

Now solve for the required pushing force:

p - 36.652 N = (22 kg) (1.9 m/s²)

p ≈ 78 N
