in the figure shown, if the mass of the block is 4kg and the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 and the coefficient of kineti
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Ff = 19.6 N

Explanation:

So since its saying whats the minimum F to move the block, we will use static friction (0.5).

We will use the equation for force of friction, which is Ff = uFn

Ff = (0.5)(4)(9.8)

Ff = 19.6 N

this is the minumum force needed to move the block, as that is the frictional force. You would need to apply a minimum force of 19.6 N to move the block
