Textbook Question
A block of mass m is at rest at the origin at t = 0. It is pushed with constant force Fโ from ๐ = 0 to ๐ = L across a horizontal surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction is ฮผโ = ฮผโ ( 1 - ๐/L ) . That is, the coefficient of friction decreases from ฮผโ at ๐ = 0 to zero at ๐ = L.
b. Find an expression for the block's speed as it reaches position L.
