Assuming that albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor, does she just reach the glass without knocking it over? use g = 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. g

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.

there are no contact forces mentioned on the list of choices that you've provided.
