FRICTION 181

to maintain a constant speed of sliding
is:
(a) 100.4 N (b) 40 N
(c) 99.6 N (d) 250 N


  1. The normal force between two surfaces
    is 50 N and the force required to main-
    tain a constant speed of sliding is 25 N.
    The dynamic coefficient of friction is:


(a) 25 (b) 2 (c) 75 (d) 0.5


  1. The maximum force, which can be
    applied to an object without sliding


occurring, is 60 N, and the static coeffi-
cient of friction is 0.3. The normal force
between the two surfaces is:

(a) 200 N (b) 18 N

(c) 60.3 N (d) 59.7 N


  1. The formula for the angle of repose is:


(a)F=μN (b) tanθ=μ

(c)μ=

F
N

(d) tanθ=

sinθ
