Lesson: The Equilibrium of a Body on a Rough Horizontal Plane

This lesson explains the equilibrium of a body on a rough horizontal plane and how it is in equilibrium under the action of a number of forces tending to move it and a friction force that opposes this motion.

Worksheet: The Equilibrium of a Body on a Rough Horizontal Plane • 17 Questions

Q1:

Given that the coefficient of static friction between a body and a plane is , what is the angle of friction? Round your answer to the nearest minute if necessary.

Q2:

A body weighing 25.5 N rests on a rough horizontal plane. A horizontal force acts on the body causing it to be on the point of moving. Given that the coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is , determine magnitude of the force.
