weight = mg acts downwards <span>
normal force = N acts upwards. 
and force F acts at an angle θ below the horizontal. 
(Let us assume that the woman pushes from the left, so F is acted towards the right, which is below the horizontal) 
so that, Frictional force, f=us*N acts towards the left 

Now we balance the forces along x and y directions: 
y direction: N = mg + F sinΘ 
x direction: us * N = F cosΘ 

We let the value of µs be equal to a value such that any F will not be able to move the crate. Then, if we increase F by an amount F', then the force pushing the crate towards the right also increases by F' cosΘ. Additionally, the frictional force f must raise by exactly this amount. 
Since f can’t exceed us*N, so the normal force must increase by F' cosΘ/us. 
Also, from the y direction equation, the normal force exceeds by F' sin Θ. 

<span>These two values must be the same, therefore:
<span>us = cot θ</span></span></span>

A body travels 30m in 5s, 45m in 7s and then 65m in the last 5s. Find the average speed of the body
JulijaS [17]
We can find the average speed of the body by finding the total distance covered, and then dividing it by the total time of the motion.

The total distance covered is:
S=30 m + 45m+65m=140 m

while the total time of the motion is
t=5 s+7s+5 s=17 s

So, the average speed of the body is:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{140 m}{17 s}=8.24 m/s
