8d. A block of dry ice slides at constant velocity along a smooth, horizontal surface (no friction). Construct a force diagram for the block. Use a vertical y-axis with the positive direction pointing up, and a horizontal x-axis.Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.
An 8.163265 kg wooden block is placed on top of a wooden table. A horizontal force of 28 N
is necessary to keep the block moving at a constant velocity along the table.
a.) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction for the wooden block and wooden table?
b.) If a force of 40 N is applied downward on the wooden block, what horizontal force
must now be applied to the wooden block to move it at a constant velocity along the table?
