Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 3_E_SSM

A bedroom bureau with a mass of 45 kg, including drawers and clothing, rests on the floor. (a) If the coefficient of static friction between the bureau and the floor is 0.45, what is the magnitude of the minimum horizontal force that a person must apply to start the bureau moving? (b) If the drawers and clothing, with 17 kg mass, are removed before the bureau is pushed, what is the new minimum magnitude?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 45 kg, 17 kg

Find: (a) If the coefficient of static friction between the bureau and; (b) If the drawers and clothing
