IN: Unbeknownst to the students, every time the school floors are waxed, Mr. Tobin likes to slide down the hallway in his socks. Mr. Tobin weighs 850 N and the coefficient of kinetic friction between his socks and the floor is 0.120. What is the force of friction that opposes Mr. Tobin’s motion down the hall?

Objective: Understand the force of friction. Success criteria: Add friction to Newton's law problems.
