It takes 25N or force to drag a box along the floor at a constant speed. If the coefficient of friction is .3, what is the mass of the box?

The mass of the box is 8.5 kg.

What is mass?

Mass can be defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body.

To calculate the mass of the box, we use the formula

Formula:

  • F = mgμ............. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force
  • m = mass of the box
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • μ = coefficient of friction

Make m the subject of the equation

  • m = F/gμ..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 25 N
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • μ = 0.3

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • m = 25/(0.3×9.8)
  • m = 25/2.94
  • m = 8.5 kg

Hence, the mass of the box is 8.5 kg.
