A box containing a new stereo system has a mass of 15 kg. A student pushes the box along the floor with a horizontal force of 58 N[W], and there is a force of kinetic friction of 12 N[E] acting on the box. (a) Draw a FBD of the box as it is being pushed. Be sure to label your forces appropriately and to include values. } (b) Calculate the net force acting on the box. } (c) Calculate the acceleration of the box. (d) Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.
