A student performs two experiments to determine the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between a block of mass 100 kg and the horizontal floor.
Ist Experiment: He applies a gradual increasing force on the block and is just able to slide the block when force is 450 N
IInd Experiment: He applies constant force of different magnitudes for the duration of 2 s and determine the distance travelled by the block in this duration.
Set    Force Distance
1 .      300 N 0.5 m
2 .      600 N 2.0 m
3 .      750 N 3.0 m
Assume all the forces have been applied horizontally.
 
The coefficient of static friction between the block and the floor is
  1. 0.45
  2. 0.5
  3. 0.3
  4. 1.45

Answer

(A) 0.45
