Minimum Force Required to Slide Body on Rough Horizontal Plane Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Effort = Weight of Body*sin(Angle of Effort)
P_min = W*sin(θ_e)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Minimum Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Minimum Effort is the minimum force required to slide a body on a rough horizontal plane.
Weight of Body - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Body is the force acting on the object due to gravity.
Angle of Effort - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Effort is the angle which the line of action of effort makes with the weight of the body W.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Body: 120 Newton --> 120 Newton No Conversion Required
Angle of Effort: 85 Degree --> 1.4835298641949 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_min = W*sin(θ_e) --> 120*sin(1.4835298641949)

Evaluating ... ...

P_min = 119.543363771007

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

119.543363771007 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

119.543363771007 ≈ 119.5434 Newton <-- Minimum Effort

Does speed affect friction?

Ideally, the coefficient of kinetic friction only depends on the nature of the surfaces. It does not depend on any other factors, including the relative speed of the surfaces and the surface area of contact. You will determine µ. You investigate the force of friction by studying objects moving at a constant speed.
