Question

A 60kg block rests on rough horizontal ground. A rope is
attached to the block and is pulled with a force of 220N to the
left. As a result, the block accelerates at 3 m/s2. The coefficient
of kinetic friction Hk between the block and the ground is
(round to the nearest hundredth)

    Answer:

    The coefficient of kinetic friction is \mu_k = 0.07.

    Explanation:

    Let us call F_k the force of friction, then we know that 220N - F_k is what has caused the acceleration a =3m/s^2:

    220-F_k =ma

    220-F_k =(60kg)(3m/s^2)

    220-F_k =180

    F_K = 40N

    Now this frictional force relates to the coefficient of kinetic friction \mu_k by  

    F_k = \mu_k N

    where N=mg is the normal force.

    Putting in numbers and solving for \mu_k we get:

    \mu_k = \dfrac{F_k}{mg}

    \mu_k = \dfrac{40N}{(60kg)(10m/s^2)}

    \boxed{\mu_k = 0.07}

    Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.07.
