Q: A Body  of mass  60 kg  is dragged with  just  enough  force to start moving on a rough surface with  coefficients of static and kinetic frictions 0.5 and 0.4 respectively . On  applying the same force , what is the acceleration ?(g = 9.8m/s2)

When the body is just able to move then                    F=μsmg=0.5×60×9.8=294Nand when the body moves under the influence of the kinetic friction then                     F+μkmg=294+0.4×60×9.8=60aor                 60a=294+235.2=529.2or                    a=529.260=8.82m/s2
