Thanks! Apologies for it being in the wrong section...like I said, no physics experience, but learning. Again, thanks for the assistance.

While I appreciate your insight, I am still very confused - esp based on barrel examples that I've reviewed. So are you advising to complete the formula, F - μMg = Ma...if so, I'm still unclear...like: F - 0.53(270 lb)(32.2 ft/s^2) = ?

A box is 8 ft high, 4 ft deep, and 6 ft wide and weighs 270 lb. A worker pushes on the box at a location along the width and 5 ft above the floor. The coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is .53. 1) Determine what value of the pushing force, P, will cause sliding. 2) Determine...
