Answer:
[tex]a=0.08\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a box, m = 18 kg
It is pushed with a force of 250 N
The coefficient of friction is 0.8
We need to find the acceleration of the box.
Normal force acting on the box,
N = mg
M = 18 × 10
N = 180 N
The force acting on the force in terms of coefficient of friction is given by :
[tex]F=\mu mg\\\\\text{or}\\\\ ma=\mu mg\\\\a=\dfrac{\mu }{g}\\\\a=\dfrac{0.8}{10}\\\\a=0.08\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the box is [tex]0.08\ m/s^2[/tex]
