Answer:
F = 385.56 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass, m = 37.8 kg
He applies a horizontal force and cross the wooden floor.
We need to find the force that must be applied to move a dog with a constant speed of 1 m/s.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the dog in the floor is 1.02.
The net force acting on it is given by :
F = f- μmg
f is force due to constant speed, f = 0 (since, a = 0)
F = μmg
= 1.02 × 37.8 × 10
= 385.56 N
Hence, the required force is 385.56 N.
