A stubborn, 115 kgkg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around the mule and pulls with his maximum force of 800 NN. The coefficients of friction between the mule and the ground are 0.75 and 0.51. What is the force of static friction between the mule and the ground?
