I took this test and the correct answer is c
I hope this helps
<span>One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle, theta, with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is 0.390. A. what is the maximum value...</span>
Answer:
Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.
