Hey nice try!
Mr. McGuire
When a student pushes a tree and it does not move, the force applied by the student (10 newtons in this case) is equal and opposite to the static friction force between the tree and the ground. This static friction force prevents the tree from moving.
Since the forces act in opposite directions, just subtract them.
The frictional force between the chair and the floor is less than 15 newtons, as it was overcome by the applied force for the chair to start moving. The frictional force opposes the motion of the chair until it reaches an equilibrium. This scenario suggests that the static friction force between the chair and the floor is less than 15 newtons.
The laws of dynamic friction describe the relationship between the force required to overcome friction between two surfaces in motion and the normal force acting perpendicular to those surfaces. These laws state that the force of friction is proportional to the normal force and is independent of the surface area in contact, while the coefficient of friction relates the force of friction to the normal force.
Friction is a force. I'll get back to that.Weight, which is usually measured in pounds or ounces or grams (depending on where you live or what you're measuring), has an official (SI) unit of newtons. An object's weight depends on the gravity affecting that object. (You probably know that you weigh less on the Moon than you do on Earth.)Gravity, which is a force, is consequently measured in newtons, just like weight. All forces are measured in newtons.Therefore, friction, which is a force, is measured in newtons.

you measure friction in Newtons
A friction is a force, so it would be measured in newtons. The coefficient of friction, on the other hand, is a ratio between two forces, so it is dimensionless.
newtons are a measurement of mass and friction is the result of two surfaces rubbing together to usually create heat
The laws of dynamic friction describe the relationship between the force required to overcome friction between two surfaces in motion and the normal force acting perpendicular to those surfaces. These laws state that the force of friction is proportional to the normal force and is independent of the surface area in contact, while the coefficient of friction relates the force of friction to the normal force.

Because it takes all the F=μN out of our lives! F- Force in Newtons (N) μ - Greek letter Mu (Coefficient of friction with no units) N-Normal force (force perpendicular to surface measured in newtons N) (found using mass * gravity assuming you're on a flat surface) When a surface has a lot of friction, the force applied is lowered due to the higher friction coefficient. When there's more friction, it takes more force to move an object on a surface.
It is 495 Newtons.
(Static coefficient of friction) Cf = horizontal force (newtons) required to overcome static resistance / vertical force (newtons) due to objects mass * acceleration due to gravity. Note: Moving friction coefficient is generally less.
