      The sofa in motion this is the sofa in motion this is the coefficient of friction we are told that you need 89n to get the coefficient of friction we have 89u 145×98 u89145×98006.
      Sofa in motion this is the sofa in motion this is the coefficient of friction we have 89u 145×98 u89145×98006.
      Sofa in motion this is the sofa in motion this is the sofa in motion this is the force of friction mg where is the sofa in motion this is the coefficient of.
