The mass of the garbage can is 30 kg. The coefficient of the static friction between the can and the ground is .75.
What is the horizontal force necessary to get the can moving?
Homework Statement
There is a box that has a mass of 30 kg. The coefficient of the static friction is 0.75. Find the horizontal force.
Homework Equations
Fs=muFn
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
Fs=(.75)(.98)(.30)=.2205 N
That is probably way off... I am very confused right now. Could someone...
