5. Suppose a body with weight W is pulled along a flat plane by a drag force
which acts alongside a string fixed to the body. If the string creates an angle
0 with the flat plane, then the drag force is
F =
sin 0 + cos 0
where the coefficient of friction is denoted by u. Note that u and W are
constants. Determine such a 0 for which F is minimum. Also evaluate that
minimum value.
