The force pressing the ancient box to the floor, 400 N. To move it, it took 200 N.

The force pressing the ancient box to the floor, 400 N. To move it, it took 200 N. Determine the static friction coefficient.

Initial data: Fт (force that presses the wooden box to the floor) = 400 N; F (force applied when moving the box) = 200 N.

The coefficient of friction at rest can be determined from the equality: F = Ftr. = μ * N (N is the support reaction force) = μ * Fт, whence μ = F / Fт.

Calculation: μ = 200/400 = 0.5.

Answer: The coefficient of static friction is 0.5.
