A man pushes a 2.0 kg broom at a constant speed across the floor.The broom handle makes a 50 degree angle with the floor. He pushes the broom with a 5.0 N force.
a) Sum the forces in the y-direction. What is the value of the normal force?
b) Sum of the forces in the x-direction. What is the value of thefrictional force opposing the motion?
c) If the frictional force were suddenly reduced by zero, whatwould happen to the broom?
