Calculate magnitude of the force of friction


Your refrigerator has a mass of 124.7 kg, including the food in it. It is standing in the middle of your kitchen, and you need to move it. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the fridge and the tile floor are 0.741 and 0.651, respectively. What is the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the fridge, if you push against it horizontally with a force of each magnitude?

a.) 746 N

b.) 851 N
