⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch6  Problem Statement The 700-N force is applied to the 100-kg block, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force F exerted by the horizontal surface on the block. Problem 6/2 (a) Magnitude and Direction of the Friction Force 1. Present Final Formula: First, determine the normal force from vertical equilibrium: Second, determine the horizontal component of the applied force: Third, determine the maximum possible static friction force: If , slipping occurs and the actual friction force is kinetic: 2. Substitute Values: 3. Partial Operations: Calculate Normal Force: Calculate horizontal applied force: Calculate max static friction: Determine state of motion: Since , the block will slip.
