A force of F = 70 N is applied on a block of mass M = 10 Kg placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. What will be the work done by frictional force in t = 2 sec if the block was initially at rest?
Given:
The mass of the body is m= 10 kg
The force applied on the body F=70N
The coefficient of kinetic friction =0.6
Since the body starts from rest, the initial velocity of the body is zero.
The time at which the work is to be determined is t=2s
The acceleration produced in the body by the applied force is given by Newton's second law of motion as
