The force required is 319 N
Explanation:
The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:
where
is the coefficient of friction
W is the weight of the object
Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.
For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:
(coefficient of friction)
(weight of the leaves)
Substituting, we find:

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula
Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.
In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle .
Vector A is in the 4th quadrant
So:
So:
So:
= -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °
= 313 °
