An ox exerts a force of 7100 N in the horizontal direction without slipping meaning it is in one position. The ox has weight of 8000 N , what is the minimum coefficent of static friction. ASKing( for (MU)
Normal force from the ground
= weight of ox
= 8000 N
Minimum frictional force
= 7100 N
If μ = minimum coefficient of static friction
8000μ = 7100
=> μ = 7100/8000 = 0.89.
