Question
Need help calculating the minimum magnitude force to start the crate moving
A 12-kg crate rests on a horizontal surface and a boy pushes on it with a force that is 30° below the
horizontal.
If the coefficient of static friction is 0.40, the minimum magnitude force he needs to start the crate moving is:
0
F sin 0
fk
0
F cos 0
