(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

<h3>Minimum force to be applied </h3>

The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;

Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ

Fcosθ = μ(s)mg

where;

  • μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
  • m is mass of the block
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]

F = 38.9 N

<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32

a = F(net)/m

a = 28.32/36

a = 0.79 m/s²

Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².
