Assume that Hk=0.40.arrow_forwardI need help deciding which equation to usearrow_forwardA horizontal force, Fm, is applied to a book that is on a rough horizontal tabletop. As a result the book is accelerating to the right. If necessary, use Fs for the force of static friction and Fk as the force of kinetic friction. Draw a free body diagram for the bookarrow_forward
