Beyond the Answer
To find the coefficient of static friction \( \mu_s \), you can use the formula: \[ \mu_s = \frac{F_s}{N} \] where \( F_s \) is the force of static friction, and \( N \) is the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the object. In this case, the normal force \( N \) for the bike is 750 N. Given that the static friction force \( F_s \) for the tires is 400 N, we plug the values into the formula: \[ \mu_s = \frac{400 \, \mathrm{N}}{750 \, \mathrm{N}} \approx 0.53 \] So, the coefficient of static friction between the bike and the surface is approximately \( 0.53 \).
