The coefficient of friction between object and substance, if we need to move an object of weight $150 \mathrm{~N}$ on a horizontal surface with a force of $75 \mathrm{~N}$, is
  1. 0.8
  2. 0.5
  3. 0.7
  4. 0.9

Solution

For the given object to move $ \begin{aligned} & \mu \mathrm{mg}=\mathrm{F} \\ \Rightarrow & \mu \times 150=75 \\ \Rightarrow & \mu=0.5 \end{aligned} $
