a waitperson pushes the bottom of a glass tumbler full of water across a tabletop at a constant speed. The tumbler and its contents have a mass of 0.70kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for the surfaces in contact is 0.41. What force does the waitperson exert on the glass?

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

 Constant speed, therefore net force in the x direction must = 0. 

Find normal foce: 

Fnet in the y direction is equal to 0. 

0 = Fn - Fg 
Fn = 0.70 (9.81) 
Fn = 6.867 N 

x direction: 

Fnet = Fapp - Ff 
0 = Fapp - mu(Fn) 
Fapp = 0.41(6.867) 
Fapp = 2.81547 N
