The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the frictional force exerted on the wooden cabinet when a horizontal force of 200 N is applied to move it at a constant velocity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Situation**: - We have a wooden cabinet that is being pushed with a horizontal force of 200 N. - The cabinet is moving at a constant velocity across the floor. 2. **Applying Newton's First Law of Motion**: - According to Newton's First Law, an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force. - Since the cabinet is moving at a constant velocity, the net force acting on it must be zero. 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Let \( F \) be the applied force (200 N) and \( f \) be the frictional force. - Since the net force is zero, we can write the equation: \[ F - f = 0 \] 4. **Solving for the Frictional Force**: - Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ f = F \] - Substituting the value of \( F \): \[ f = 200 \, \text{N} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The frictional force exerted on the cabinet is 200 N. ### Final Answer: The frictional force that will be exerted on the cabinet is **200 N**.
