You need to move a 143-kg sofa to a different location in the room. it takes a force of 106 n to start it moving. what is the coefficient of static friction between the sofa and the carpet?

Coefficient of static friction will be equal; to 0.075

Explanation:

We have given mass of the sofa m = 143 kg

Force needed to move the sofa F = 106 N

Acceleration due to gravity

We have to fond the coefficient of static friction

Frictional force is given by , here F is frictional force m is mass , g is acceleration due to gravity and is coefficient of static friction

So

= 0.075

So coefficient of static friction will be equal; to 0.075
