Answer:
181.89 N
Explanation:
The force necessary to start the create moving = frictional force.
F = μR................... Equation 1
Where F = Force necessary to start the create moving, μ = coefficient of static friction. R = normal reaction.
But,
R = mg ........................ Equation 2
Where m = mass of the crate, g = acceleration due to gravity of the plate.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
F = μmg...................... Equation 3
Given: m = 32 kg, μ = 0.58, g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 3
F = 32(9.8)(0.58)
F = 181.89 N
