Chapter 6, Problem 4Q
In three experiments, three different horizontal forces are applied to the same block lying on the same countertop. The force magnitudes are F1 = 12 N, F2 = 8 N, and F3= 4 N. In each experiment, the block remains stationary in spite of the applied force. Rank the forces according to (a) the magnitude fs of the static frictional force on the block from the countertop and (b) the maximum value ƒs, max of that force, greatest first.
