Hello! I need a little help here. I have been trying to figure out this problem, but I just can't and I don't know where I am going wrong.
A 116 -kg crate is being pulled across a horizontal floor by a force P that makes an angle of 35.2 ° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.212 . What should be the magnitude of P, so that the net work done by it and the kinetic frictional force is zero?
now I know what W=FdCos(theta) and that fs=uk*F...but I just don't know where to go from there and I don't know what the end of the question means..."so that hte net work done by it and the kinetic frictional force is zero?"...does that mean I just set the net work and frictional force equal and solve for the force?
