Homework Statement
There is a table, and a napkin on it. The napkin has a mass mn=71.6 g. On the napkin, there is a tea cup with mass mc=104.6 g. What is the minimum force required for someone to pull the napkin out from under the tea cup? Assume that between the table and the napkin the friction is µk= 0.484, while the coefficient of static friction between the tea cup and the napkin is µs=0.705. Express your answer in Newtons.
