Answer:

The force of static friction is 17.15 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bucket, m = 5 kg

The coefficient of static friction is,
\mu=0.35

We need to find the maximum force of static friction. It is given by :


F=\mu mg


F=0.35* 5\ kg* 9.8\ m/s^2

F = 17.15 N

So, the force of static friction is 17.15 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
