A block of mass 5 kg is being pulled along a rough horizontal floor by a force of magnitude \(X \mathrm {~N}\) acting at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal (see diagram). The block starts from rest and travels 2 m in the first 5 s of its motion.
- Find the acceleration of the block.
- Given that the coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.4 , find \(X\).
The block is now placed on a part of the floor where the coefficient of friction between the block and the floor has a different value. The value of \(X\) is changed to 25, and the block is now in limiting equilibrium. - Find the value of the coefficient of friction between the block and this part of the floor.
