Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: m=22kg

coefficient of friction: \mu =0.27

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is g=9.81m/s^2

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

  • Normal force N (acting up from the object)
  • weight: w=mg (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg

from Newton's second Law we know that F=ma, so:

ma_{y}=N-mg

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) a_{y}=0, and:

0=N-mg\\N=mg

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

  • frictional force: f= \mu N and since N=mg  --> f=\mu mg
  • force to move the object: F

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: a_{x}=0

and we get:

0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg

substituting known values:

F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N
