Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 71

An 8.00 kg block of steel is at rest on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.450. A force is to be applied to the block. To three significant figures, what is the magnitude of that applied force if it puts the block on the verge of sliding when the force is directed (a) horizontally, (b) upward at 60.0° from the horizontal, and (c) downward at 60.0° from the horizontal?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 8.00 kg, 0.450. A

Find: (a) horizontally; (b) upward at 60; (c) downward at 60
