Answer

\text{49 N}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Identify the given values for object A.
The mass of object A is $m_A = 25 \text{ kg}$ .
The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.2$ .
The acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$ .
Calculate the normal force ( $N$ ) acting on object A.
Since object A is on a horizontal surface, the normal force is equal to its weight.
$N = m_A g$ $N = (25 \text{ kg}) \times (9.8 \text{ m/s}^2)$ $N = 245 \text{ N}$
Calculate the friction force ( $F_f$ ) on object A.
The friction force is given by the formula $F_f = \mu N$ .
$F_f = (0.2) \times (245 \text{ N})$ $F_f = 49 \text{ N}$
The friction force on object A is $\text{49 N}$ .
