A pot of mass 1kg is raised vertically at a constant velocity with both the hands. The coefficient of friction between hand and pot is 0.2 .What is the force applied by each hand?

Let the normal force exerted by one hand be x.
Then, frictional force = 2x × 0.2 =0.4x
As, velocity is constant ; therefore net force is zero.
So, weight of pot is equal to frictional force.
: 0.4x = 9.8
x= *24.5 N
