Question

Part CPart complete Determine the maximum force P that can be applied without causing the two 43-kg crates to move. The coefficient of static friction between each crate and the ground is μs = 0.32.

Answer 1

the maximum force will be equal to 134.84 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given mass m = 43 kg

Coefficient of static friction
`\mu _s=0.32`

Acceleration due to gravity
`g=9.8m.sec^2`

We have to find the maximum force which , when applied there is no movement of crates

This maximum force will be equal to frictional force

Frictional force is given by
`f=\mu mg=0.32* 43* 9.8=134.84N`

So the maximum force will be equal to 134.84 N
