Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.
The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.
Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.
To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.
W = m*g
W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]
W = 12.75 [N]
maximum static friction acting on the object will be
plug in all values
So here it means that if applied force is less than or equal to 58.8 N then the object will remain stationary as friction can balance the external force upto this limit of external force
So here it is given that applied force is 20 N
so here object will not move due to this force and it will remain at rest always
due to this applied force
